Tell me how you would handle a situation where you thought you saw one of your nursing colleagues pocketing a dose of medication that was supposed to be given to a patient.

Although there are many controls placed on medication distribution and administration, stealing medication is still a common problem amongst staff, especially in the face of the current opioid crisis. This scenario puts the candidate in an ethical dilemma of whether he or she should confront their coworker, notify their supervisor, or turn the other direction and take no action. To effectively answer this question, you should discuss how you would take action on the matter, preferably, notifying a supervisor of the colleague's behavior. A more successful answer to this question would include an example of how the candidate took action after witnessing a similar situation.
