Common Interview Questions & Answer Guidance
Q1: What are the primary objectives and target groups under Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK)?
Answer Guidance: Explain that RBSK is an initiative under NHM aimed at early identification and intervention for children from birth to 18 years, covering the 4Ds: Defects at birth, Diseases, Deficiencies, and Development delays including disability. Pharmacists in Mobile Health Teams ensure uninterrupted supply of essential pediatric formulations, micronutrient syrups, and oral rehydration therapy.
Q2: How do you maintain the cold chain for temperature-sensitive drugs and vaccines in remote island PHCs?
Answer Guidance: State that biologicals and vaccines must be stored strictly between 2°C and 8°C in Ice-Lined Refrigerators (ILRs).

Q3: What precautions must a Pharmacist observe while dispensing pediatric liquid oral formulations?
Answer Guidance: Explain that pediatric dosages depend strictly on age and body weight.
