✍️ Sample FISDAP Questions & Answers
1. Which type of clinical skill evaluation is considered 'high-stakes' and typically requires a higher number of successful verifications in FISDAP?
Advanced airway management skills like endotracheal intubation are classified as high-stakes because errors can cause direct patient harm, requiring more verifications to establish robust competency.
2. A patient in Class III hemorrhagic shock (30–40% blood loss) will MOST likely present with which combination of findings?
Class III shock (30–40% blood loss) produces tachycardia over 120, decreased blood pressure, confusion, and markedly decreased urine output due to severe volume loss.
3. A FISDAP coordinator notices that one preceptor consistently rates all students at the maximum score regardless of performance differences. This is an example of:
Leniency bias occurs when an evaluator rates everyone at the top of the scale, reducing the discriminatory value of the evaluation data.
4. In FISDAP, who is primarily responsible for signing off on a student's clinical skill verification?
The preceptor or supervising clinician who directly observes the student perform the skill is responsible for verifying and signing off on clinical skill competency in FISDAP.
5. An EMT arrives to find an unresponsive adult patient with no family present and no advance directive. Under what legal doctrine can the EMT treat the patient without explicit consent?
Implied consent is the legal doctrine that assumes an unconscious or otherwise incapacitated adult would consent to emergency treatment if they were able to do so. It allows EMTs to provide necessary care when the patient cannot express consent.
6. During assessment of a burn patient, which finding would MOST indicate airway involvement from inhalation injury?
Singed nasal hairs, burned facial hair, and carbonaceous (sooty) sputum are key indicators of upper airway inhalation injury.
