You see a nurse colleague pretend to give a narcotic to a patient while her back is turned to you. Then you see the medication in her pocket. What do you do?

"I would record the patient's name, the nurse's name, and the time of the incident. Then, I would look at the patient's chart to see who ordered the medication. I would report the incident to the nurse's immediate supervisor. However, my responsibility doesn't end there, because I have to act as the patient's advocate. I would ensure that the patient received the appropriate dosage of the prescribed medication and follow up with the supervisor."

In any situation that involves both the well-being of a patient and the program that you represent, it is your business to act accordingly. Assure your team of interviewers that you would immediately address the situation with the nurse and take the issue up the chain of command immediately. When training as a Nurse Fellow, you will be expected to uphold the highest degree of integrity.
