      Answer Example

      "One recent, and quite stressful time, was during a park maintenance job. It was a new location for us and my colleague ended up being exposed to poison ivy. We were already on a tight deadline. I was able to quickly administer an anti-itch ointment and take him back to his personal vehicle so that he could go to the doctor to be assessed. After that, I continued on the day by myself. I worked overtime that day to ensure my jobs were complete."
