QUESTION 6 OF 30

Give a specific example of a time when you used good judgement and logic in solving a problem.

"Last week we had a patient in for a routine and straightforward procedure. Afterward, the patient mentioned that they didn't feel well. I encouraged them to stay for a few extra minutes. I monitored the patient as best I could, between other patients, mentioning my concern to the physician. Fast-forward 30 minutes, we ended up rushing the patient to the ER for signs of possible blockage. My logic and judgment helped this patient to avoid a potentially fatal incident.
