Question: Describe a situation where you had to advocate for a patient's needs.

Answer: Advocacy is a crucial aspect of nursing. In a specific case, a patient's medication order was incorrect, and I noticed it during my medication rounds. I immediately contacted the prescriber, clarified the situation, and ensured the patient received the appropriate medication.

Example:

I encountered a situation where a patient's family was concerned about the discharge plan. I facilitated a meeting with the healthcare team, addressed the family's concerns, and worked collaboratively to adjust the plan, ensuring the patient's safety and well-being.
