There are a number of "types" of questions you need to be able to answer, the vast majority of which are detailed in the MMI Resources and Traditional Interview Resources. There are some articles and frameworks that I recommend you become familiar with.
The first article to read is from the New York Times. You could consider using this as your article for your first session, actually. It discusses how an emergency room physician tells families that a family member has died (TW: parent experiencing death of a child, gun violence). Note how the physician sets up the discussion.

There is a framework called the SPIKES strategy that you should become familiar with and memorize. Use it to guide your "breaking bad news" stations:
A great summary of how to use the SPIKES protocol can be found here, by UBC:

Two additional papers on the SPIKES protocol can be found here, but are more academic and generally would not be required reading:

Borrowing from colleagues in business, there is a tool called a PESTEL analysis that is a framework to support multidimensional analysis of problems. When asked to speak about the impact of an issue, the acronym PESTEL provides a number of different lenses with which to consider an issue. As many of the issues you will be speaking about are health-related, that aspect is usually implicitly covered, and covering aspects considered in PESTEL provides additional depth.
Some reading on PESTEL analysis can be found here, but are all from a business perspective. I recommend you review these:

Of note, you don't need to cover all six elements of PESTEL for a strong answer, nor would covering all of them mean you have an exceptional one.
As you are preparing, you should make effort to incorporate the use of these frameworks into your answers.
