The interviewer wants to see if you would be willing to do something illegal, even if no one else would ever know. Operating out of your EMT's scope of practice is illegal and can cause problems for you and your company. It is in your best interest to only do what your certification allows.

"I would tell my partner that I am not trained to start IVs and I could be fired and lose my certification. I would tell them I can set up the IV for them and have everything ready, but they will have to do it themselves."
