As a healthcare professional, you may be asked to do unethical things at times. The interviewer asks this question to see that you are honest and have integrity. The interviewer wants to hear that you have morals and can be trusted if hired.

Focus on providing an example of when you had your ethics tested as a healthcare professional. If you are new to this field, use an example from a previous job or while attending school. Some examples could be witnessing someone cheat or steal something.

"I had my ethics tested at my last job. I was in charge of the narcotics on the floor, and a coworker asked me to do something illegal. I told them that I would not participate in illegal activity and told them they had asked the wrong person to help them. I reported them to my immediate supervisor, who told me they were under investigation for something similar. I will not tolerate illegal or unethical activity, as I am an honest person who does everything by the book."
