22. If you felt a customer was using prescribed drugs for the wrong reasons, what would you do?
How to Answer
This question is to assess your problem-solving and risk-assessment skills. You want to give a real world answer if you have one. You want to let the interviewer know you can assess this effectively, can take appropriate action, and offer ideas for this situation in the future. This is a recurrent issue and the employer is aware you will face this situation. You also want to remark that you will learn their policies and procedures and adapt to their preferences as needed.
