"Whenever I face a disagreement, I always try to handle things in a manner that considers the patient and the best possible outcome. A great example of this was last year when I was asked to be part of an RFP team to look at new dialysis machines. We went through a rigorous process of listening to and working with five vendors, heard their sales pitches, and then had several meetings to discuss which vendor we wanted. Some of the administrative members of our RFP team were motivated by overall costs and overlooked key aspects of units that would benefit our patients. I never hesitated to speak up and discuss the direct benefits patients would see and, in the end, we ended up going with great new units that still fit within the budget."

To best answer this question, talk about a specific time you successfully handled a disagreement with great results because of your action. If there was a significant and imminent risk of harm to the patient, explain how you took swift action and considered the patient's needs and medical necessity. Explain how you came to a decision and communicated with others in a firm yet respectful manner.
