Sample Question
“Tell me about a time you had to advocate for a patient. What was the situation and what did you do?”
Expert Answer
“During my time in the ICU, I cared for an elderly patient whose family wanted to continue aggressive treatment, but the patient had previously expressed wishes for comfort care. I reviewed the advance directive, consulted with the attending physician, and facilitated a family meeting where we discussed the patient's documented wishes. By presenting the information compassionately and involving the palliative care team, the family ultimately honored the patient's wishes. This experience reinforced how important it is to be the patient's voice, even when it's difficult.”
