      1st Answer Example

      "I was busy updating notes on a patient when I was approached by a doctor who had asked me to take notes on our next patient and record their upcoming session. Since I was multitasking, I did not hear the doctor's request and forgot to record patients ession. The doctor, of course, was a bit disappointed, and I sincerely apologized. From then onwards, I have made it a point to pay attention to anyone who is talking to me even if I am in the middle of something important. It is imperative that as a behavioral health technician, I respect the institution and act in the best interest of my patients."

      2nd Answer Example

      "Multi-tasking is an important part of being a Behavioral Health Technician. To ensure that I don't miss anything I take detailed notes and keep a running to-do list. I've started taking detailed notes because of a meeting that I missed last month because I neglected"‹ to review my schedule before booking a patient."
