The interviewer can see your qualifications on your resume. Be prepared to answer a few scenario questions to give the interviewer an idea of how you respond to stressful situations. Fall back on your training and think about the first thing you must do when arriving on the scene. Show the interviewer your thought process as you prioritize these three patients.

"First, I would check for scene hazards to ensure traffic is controlled so that there are no additional injuries as we stabilize the patients. Next, I would work with my partner to check each patient's circulation, airway, and breathing and treat any life-threatening conditions. If time allowed before additional units arrived, we would work on placing cervical collars on each patient."

"When arriving on scene, I would perform a scene size-up to ensure the scene is safe to enter. Once I determine the scene is safe, I would start triaging the patients with my partner, assessing for life threats, and prioritizing them based on their injuries."
