The interviewer is trying to determine if you are willing to work outside of your scope of responsibility and if you would be willing to go above and beyond your normal duties. Your answer lets the interviewer know if you are willing to grow your skillset and also if you are willing to express if you are unable to complete certain tasks.

"In the Pet Emergency Clinic, I often have to step outside of my normal duties and responsibilities. It is unpredictable how many animals we will need to care for in one shift and sometimes, we end up having very busy days and I will need to step in and complete some tasks that I am not usually required to do. I have no problem stepping outside of my normal duties to assist and be sure that animals are getting the best care. Ultimately, any experience that I can get is beneficial to both me and my employer."

Think about times in your previous roles where it was requested that you step outside of your regular position requirements to complete a task. Talk to the interviewer about how you handled these requests and if you were successfully able to work outside of your normal responsibilities.
