The interviewer is looking for observation skills and respect skills with this question. First, the interviewee must include the necessity of knocking before entering the room, even if the door is open. This is a demonstration of respect for the patient. Second, the interviewer is looking for the interviewer's expanded view of the patient and the patient's environment.

"I always knock before I enter and announce who I am and what I need to do. When I enter the room, I scan the room from general to specific. First, I look at the big picture and look for things that look out of place such as big safety or patient concerns like wires, beeping IVs, Foley bags on the floor. I do this quickly and then I zoom in on the patient and look for safety concerns. I do this in a quick eye sweep of the room. I go directly to them, introduce myself if needed, and ask them how they are doing before I tell them what I need to do."
