My prayer is answered. Amen. Thank You Father. Well the APN interview wasn't that bad. I did not feel threatened.. so was pretty safe. It's not that I know the result or outcome of the interview. But I do need to say that the questions they asked were not difficult and very applicable to my clinical practice. Although I would have kicked myself in the butt for not tackling some of the questions too well.
Better list down these questions for future reference.
1. What are the issues you will think about in general for an elderly with diabetes?
2. Why is blood pressure control important in a diabetes patient?
3. What are the signs you will look for in DKA or HHNK?
4. How do you explain to the patient about HbA1C%?
5. Who else can you enlist help if a patient does not seem insightful about his or her clinical condition?
6. What are the chances of having TB in diabetes patients?
7. In what situations will a diabetes patient have hyperglycemia?
Comments on my case studies
1. Both diabetes case stduies why?
2. Did not mention about the complications of DM -- IHD, retinopathy, foot problems
3. Chest x-ray issue: whether it is appropriate to repeat another chest x-ray for Chronic Cough case study.
Funny... but all the palpitations has stopped. And I'm not worried about the outcome. I've tried my best. I guess if this still fails .... there is a Good Reason for that. Amen.
