Hopefully, you haven't but if you still have your certification then you have a chance at the job. However, you must be transparent and not make excuses. It is helpful not to overexplain or underexplain. Briefly describe what happened and how you rectified it.

Your answer should be brief and specific to the disciplined action with no excuses or rationale even if a direct answer risks the chance of employment. The interviewer will appreciate a direct and honest response.

"Yes. At my previous employment, I was cautioned for performing duties, not in the scope of my practice. We were very busy, and the LPN asked me to what a patient's medication cup back to her as I was going into the room. I gave her the medication cup and the patient looked in the medication cup and told me it was the wrong medication. I had no way of knowing. It was reported, and thankfully the patient knew her medications and real injury was avoided but I almost lost my certification for it. I was new and wanted to be liked and helpful. That was very flawed thinking and I almost paid dearly for it with my hard-earned certification. I will never make that mistake again. When in doubt, I ask."
