If you have ever faced an uncomfortable situation on the job, be sure to tell the interviewer a bit about it and focus primarily on how you resolved the issues. Be careful to avoid any negative comments about a patient or previous employer. You can keep your answer simple as long as you focus on showing the interviewer that you can perform in uncomfortable situations.

"I had a dementia patient who needed 24-hour care in his home. I was working the night shift, and the patient came into my room where I was sleeping, and he was only wearing a t-shirt. He started calling me his deceased wife's name and asked to climb into bed with me. I told him who I was and explained that I was not his wife. He became very agitated, so I let him call me his wife's name. I told him that we should go back to his room to get dressed in his pajamas. I helped him get his pajama bottoms on, got him a glass of water, and put him to bed. I then read him a story until he fell asleep."
