Think about a time that you were working with an animal and felt like the situation became a safety concern or dangerous to yourself, coworkers, or even other animals. Discuss what you did to address the safety issue to be sure that everyone involved was out of danger. Talk about what you learned about the situation and what you would do differently in the future.

"I have been in a situation where a dog was brought into the Emergency Clinic for a potential broken bone. He was in a great deal of pain and was rather aggressive. I realized pretty quickly that I needed to remove myself from the room so that he could calm down and I asked that the pet owner muzzle the dog. When I entered the room for the second time, I was able to give him medication that quickly eased his pain and made him more comfortable which eliminated his aggression."
