You may sometimes be asked to do unethical things in the healthcare industry. The interviewers ask this question to see that you are honest and have integrity. They want to hear that you have morals and can be trusted in your position. Some examples could be witnessing someone cheat or steal something or someone asking you to do something you knew was morally wrong. Describe a time your ethics were tested and how you responded.
