Question: Describe a challenging ethical dilemma you encountered and how you resolved it.

Answer: I encountered a situation where ethical principles were in conflict. I carefully considered all perspectives, consulted with colleagues and ethics committees, and reached a decision that aligned with patient autonomy and best interests. Ethical dilemmas require a thoughtful and collaborative approach to resolution.

Example:

A patient's family requested to withhold information about the severity of the patient's condition. I engaged in discussions with the family, the patient, and the healthcare team. After carefully weighing the ethical principles involved, we collectively reached a decision that respected the patient's autonomy while ensuring transparency about their health status.
