What they ask patient care tech observation candidates here
Drawn from the 3 open postings on this page. The ones that come up across several employers are near the top.
Observation patients are here briefly and may go either way. How does that change how you work?
What they are checking: Whether they understand that observation patients may be discharged or admitted quickly, which changes how closely they watch and report.
Walk me through obtaining a twelve lead EKG on a patient who cannot lie still.
What they are checking: A named duty in the posting, and practical skill rather than a certificate.
Talk me through discontinuing a saline lock or an indwelling catheter.
What they are checking: Two delegated tasks the posting names that not every tech has done.
How do you collect, label and transport a specimen so nothing goes wrong?
What they are checking: Labeling, which is the most serious error available in this task.
You take a set of vital signs that are clearly abnormal. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they report clearly abnormal vital signs to the nurse right away, rather than rechecking repeatedly or waiting for rounds.
How do you decide what to do first when your nurse and a patient both need you?
What they are checking: Whether they can sort competing needs quickly and sensibly, because prioritizing well is what a patient care tech does all shift.
Tell me about noticing a change in a patient that the nurse had not seen.
What they are checking: Whether they actually notice changes in patients and speak up, since techs often see things before the nurse does.
This is part time days. How does that fit what you are looking for?
What they are checking: Whether part-time day hours genuinely fit what they want, because a mismatch in hours often leads to someone leaving soon.
