The interviewers ask this question to determine how you will respond in an emergency. The question could be asked about a patient, a family member, or a colleague to see how quickly you take action to protect those around you. Your response should include contacting security and the police and ensuring the junior nurse, yourself, your team, and other patients in the area remain safe. Wherever you work will have policies in place regarding situations such as this. Assure the interviewers that you react quickly in emergencies while following company policies and procedures. If you have a real-life example of this situation, describe how you responded and the outcome.
