CASPER EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSDescribe your leadership style. - Answers -(personal)
As a leader, I prefer to be engaged and communicative with my team members. When I
was on the Philanthropy Committee in my sorority, I kept open communication with my
members, allowing me to address issues before they become major problems. For
example, I realized a couple of my members were having trouble meeting deadlines
because of their academic workload, and by reaching out to them, I was able to
reassign their tasks to other members who were interested in more responsibility.
Describe a situation when you had to say no to a friend's request for help. - Answers -
(personal)
As an EMT, my friends have come to me for medical help and information. I usually try
to help them to the best of my abilities, when appropriate and within my scope of
practice.
However, there have been some cases when I refuse to give them advice, such as
mixing medications, because I believe it is out of my purview and unethical for me to
advise them. In these cases, I tell them to ask their doctor or pharmacist.
What is your approach to working with someone whose values are vastly different from
your own. - Answers -(personal)
My approach to working with someone whose beliefs are vastly different from my own is
to listen, try to empathize, which opens up the dialogue and makes it easier to find a
common ground.
My roommate was skeptical about masks and social-distancing during COVID-19, and
by listening to his reasons, I was able to find house rules that we would both agree upon
that would keep us both safe and allow his right to autonomy while sharing common
space.
informed consent - Answers -requires the patient or client to understand the proposed
procedure, details, possible alternatives, risk and complications, and consequences of
doing nothing.
Working with difficult people. - Answers -I believe the difficulty is in the relationship, not
simply the person. There were a couple of patients who would frequently show up in the
ED that would frustrate many of the clinicians. Whenever I would work with these
patients, I would check my frustration and bias before going into the room. Once I'm in
there with the patient, I have a clear agenda and set boundaries with them. I always
take the time to listen to their concerns and empathize with their situation. These
strategies have helped me many times and my conversations with them have usually
been positive and fruitful.
, I usually get along with most of my coworkers and bosses. When I was working as a
student on the campus library, I had a difficult time while working with another student
worker. His unfriendly behavior was lowering my overall job satisfaction and
performance. I pulled him aside one day after work and told him how his behavior was
making me feel. Surprisingly, he apologizes, saying that he was overwhelmed with
schoolwork, which was affecting his behavior at work. After that, he was friendlier and I
was more understanding.
What do you think is the significance of the statistic presented in the first sentence, that
though 86% of people know that excess salt consumption is bad for their health, only
53% of them actually consider salt content when making food choices? - Answers -
(Personal, critical thinking)
The statistic alludes to the fact that individuals do not always act upon their knowledge.
There are confounding factors to behavior, such as environmental, cultural, and
psychological. However, I would hesitate to support this statistic before doing more
research into how they got these numbers.
In countries where the provision of health care services is subsidized by the
government, do you think that governments should be able to prevent access to
substances known to cause chronic disease? Why or why not? - Answers -(policy)
By preventing access to substances known to cause chronic diseases, governments
may help their citizens live long, healthy lives by reducing chronic diseases, increasing
quality of life, and decreasing overall healthcare spending. However, this also limits
personal choice and may marginalize those choosing to practice this behavior for
personal reasons. Instead of outright prohibition, governments can gradually limit
access, such as the UK did with sugar and the US did with cigarettes by enforcing
taxes.
Processed meat has been found to be a carcinogen in humans, putting it in the same
class as smoking cigarettes. As a public health official, what steps would you take when
considering a ban on processed meats in your community? - Answers -(Ethical
dilemma, policy)
As a public health official, I would do more research into the effects on the health of the
public. My main concern is the health of the general public, the limitations of my office,
and individuals' right to autonomy. If the risk to the public is great and warrants
intervention, I would see if the manufactures could look into making it healthier. If not,
then I would consider a partial ban, by enforcing taxes or an educational initiative. I
would not consider a complete ban unless the research is irrefutable and it causes a
direct and imminent health threat (think asbestos), as that will infringe on personal
choice.
