Sample Answer
“The number of patients that doctors see may be far higher than that of nurses. They can experience difficulties accurately maintaining patient histories and medical data. I thoroughly examine the situation with the doctor to have it resolved before we move on when there is a mismatch between a doctor’s orders and a patient’s medical records. We agree to escalate it to a supervisor if we are unable to resolve it ourselves.”
