A woman comes into the ER after a car accident. She needs a blood transfusion but states that her religion is against blood transfusions. What decision do you make?

"From what I understand, if the patient is of sound mind and they understand the risk they are taking by refusing medical assistance, I do not have the right to override her religious choice. Many factors could change this, such as an unconscious patient, someone under the influence of a narcotic, or perhaps if the person and I had a significant language barrier. I should refer to my facilities' leaders and ethics community in these situations. This is a decision I would not feel comfortable making entirely on my own."

You may not be able to answer this question entirely correctly as there are many policies and legal requirements that you may not even know about. Answer to the best of your ability by displaying that you would make the soundest choice possible while maintaining the patient's integrity.
