An upset patient can not only ruin your day but cause an unnecessary scene. Being calm and understanding will help the situation. If you have a short situational story to share about an upset patient, have it handy just in case the interviewer is wanting an example. If you share a story, remember your HIPAA regulations and don't share information that shouldn't be shared. "‹

"There was a time that a patient came to my desk very upset about her care. I simply listened to her and soon realized she was having a bad day and just needed to vent. After calmly explaining the procedure the patient thanked me for my time and apologized for getting upset."
