As a nurse practitioner in a correctional facility, you'll be treating inmates who have committed crimes, some violent. The interviewer wants to be certain that you, as a medical professional, are going to remain impartial and provide quality care to those in need. Reassure the interviewer that you are able to remove personal bias and opinions and are committed to doing the job to the best of your ability.

"In this setting, I focus on my job, which is to provide care to those in need. I try to remove all personal opinions and feelings and always remain professional and provide the same exceptional level of care to all. I do take my safety seriously and would ensure I follow all facility processes and protocols to protect myself while providing treatment."

"I would treat all inmates with the same level of compassion and care; however, I would always follow safety protocols, especially when treating inmates with a violent history. I know that my responsibility is to diagnose and treat individuals, but it's also my responsibility to help ensure my own safety. It is not my place to judge the inmates, so I would set aside my personal feelings and do my best to focus on providing them with excellent care while they are at the facility."
