Question 1 of 25

Do you use Atropine on a patient who has had a heart transplant?

The interviewer is asking this question to assess the candidate's knowledge on how to care for a patient during and after a heart transplant. Because the anesthesiology assistant is required to administer drugs and medications to patients during and after operations, it is extremely important that they understand which drugs are appropriate for which patients. In the case of administering Atropine for heart transplant patients, it is contraindicated, because the patients' hearts are denervated and will not respond to the drug. To successfully answer this question, the candidate should clearly state that they will not administer Atropine and provide an example of an alternative drug they would administer to a heart transplant patient instead.
