RxGuide Cares About your success?
Here is a list of “High Yield” questions asked in recent interviews (FMC Asaba, UNTH, UCH):
1. Emergency & Critical Care (The “Must Knows”):
Eclampsia: What is the loading dose of Magnesium Sulphate? (Answer: 4g IV + 10g IM).
Hypertensive Emergency: Management protocol (IV Labetalol vs. Hydralazine) and the target BP reduction.
Anaphylaxis: Adrenaline dose and route (IM 0.5ml of 1:1000).
2. Chronic Disease Management:
Diabetes: Justify the use of SGLT2 inhibitors (Empagliflozin) in a patient with Heart Failure.
Asthma: Demonstrate the correct use of a Ventolin Inhaler (Step-by-step counseling).
3. Antibiotic Stewardship:
“A patient is prescribed Meropenem for 14 days. As an intern, what monitoring parameters will you check?” (Renal function/Creatinine Clearance).
4. The “Scenario” Questions:
“A consultant prescribes a drug at a lethal dose, but he is known for being arrogant. How do you handle it?” (Answer: Do NOT dispense. Contact him privately and respectfully with evidence/literature).
Advice: They score confidence as much as knowledge. If you don’t know the dose, say “I will consult the BNF/STG” rather than guessing a lethal dose!
