As a witness is it your responsibility to intervene? Why or why not? - ✔✔If I didn't do anything when
witnessing an ethical dilemma, I would always question if my inability to act or my fear of
repercussions/feeling uncomfortable could have potentially helped resolve that moment even for a
second. It wouldn't have hurt to try, but there can always be some positivity out of it.
Have you ever witnessed or personally experienced a situation where professional boundaries were
crossed? - ✔✔When I was working as a medical technician, overtime my Health and Wellness Director
(HWD) was becoming increasingly fond of / closer to one of my co-workers. From simple gestures to full-
on flirtations in the workplace, the relationship was headed into a more romantic setting. As a leader of
the caregiving team, I wanted to not only ensure fairness for everyone but to make sure that the
relationships were professional at the same time. Nothing is wrong with having those personal
relationships, but you have to do them in a way that doesn't compromise the working dynamic of the
healthcare team. I had to have a private conversation with both my HWD and my coworker and say how
having these relationships could be seen as favoritism towards the other. This could create problems
down the line in terms of trust and potential drama within the healthcare team, putting both their
professional integrities in jeopardy. After explaining to them the possible repercussions, they both
agreed on the issue at hand and maintained greater professionalism in the workplace.
Describe a time when you helped resolve a conflict between two friends or acquaintances? - ✔✔As a
medical technician, there was a time when my caregiving team was fighting over workers not pulling
their slack in the workplace. The nursing home was divided into 4 sections (1-4) and it was one caregiver
per section. Sections 3 and 4 had the more acute care residents and required more time and energy
addressing their needs. The caregivers in sections 3 and 4 were complaining that the caregivers in
sections 1 and 2 were not pulling enough slack and being lazy / sitting around when they could be
helping them with their more physical duties. The caregivers in sections 1 and 2 complained that the
caregivers in sections 3 and 4 took on too many duties and didn't communicate efficiently / let them do
their duties which is why they were being perceived as lazy. In addressing this situation, I had a private
conversation with each member individually and gained the general consensus that communication and
properly delegating tasks were the biggest issues. I spoke with my HWD about getting better functioning
radios to ensure better communication, as well as suggesting to rotate the caregivers per section so they
all get the opportunity to share the workload. By instituting these policies, there was a lot less conflict
within my team and we could focus more on the healthcare we provided.
,Describe a time when something inappropriate was posted on social media and how you responded. -
✔✔A story about a friend posting defamation of police station on FB. How he felt it was right because of
the history of police brutality in his family because he is black. Although I sympathized with him and felt
so sorry that he and his family were treated way, I had to tell him in private that doing so might seem like
an outlet to him at that moment, but the repercussions of his actions could negatively impact him later.
Issues with him getting into universities / professional occupations and how this message will affect not
only him but his family and the many who view and share this on social media. There are other ways to
voice your opinion (peaceful protests, city hall demonstrations, etc.) but defaming city property is not
one you should willingly participate in. He took down the photo and issued an apology to the city but
advocated for more advanced policies and considerations in how police are trained to recognize and
pacify situations
In your opinion, do ends ever justify the means? - ✔✔Talk about how people would perceive the
differences between drug testing on rats vs humans, going through thousands of test subjects to make a
cure for humanity.
Discuss a time when someone you admired disappointed you. - ✔✔In high school, having a teacher that
was against underage drug abuse yet confessed he did and still uses marijuana for stress relief purposes.
Hypocritical in a sense but there was a disconnect with his beliefs and his practice. I told him there are
other ways to manage stress that he didn't need drugs to do it. I had no problem with him using
recreational drugs but I didnt want him to teach others his beliefs but not fully practice them.
Describe a time where you witnessed or personally faced a conflict of interest. - ✔✔When someone
asked me for a letter of recommendation for a nursing program but even though we were friends her
work ethic was not the best. I caught her sleeping on the job once and not having a formidable
reputation with the residents I had worked with at the nursing home we were both employed at. I told
her I would be happy to write the letter but warned her it would not be the best due to what I have
witnessed in her performance. I informed her of others who would be willing to write her a stronger
letter of recommendation. It would not be in my best interest to recommend someone who I feel
couldn't best exemplify what qualities her future profession demanded.
Describe a time when something for which you had high expectations fell through. - ✔✔Was really good
at basketball and wanted to play for my local YMCA as a kid, but unfortunately broke my arm and
couldnt even dribble a ball correctly for almost 2 months. I became so disheartened and hated the fact
that I was clumsy enough to break my arm in the first place. However, I learned to not dwell on this
mistake and through physical therapy I picked up a greater love for badminton while strengthening my
left arm again.
,Describe an ethical dilemma you have faced and how you dealt with it. - ✔✔Cheating in college from
one of my best friends. As a UCI undergrad, I studied for my Human Physiology final exam by carefully re-
reading lecture notes and mastering concepts behind complex biological mechanisms. Days before the
test, one of my best friends told me he found old final exams online and wanted to share them with me.
Although the course was indeed challenging, I was so close to becoming a senior Ecology and
Evolutionary Biology student, and I didn't want to jeopardize my education.
In a private conversation, I asked him not to use these exams while studying or share them because this
would create an unfair advantage for him and others, demonstrating academic dishonesty. Due to having
increased pressure on academic performance from his physician-based family, he said he needed these
exams. Although I sympathized with his situation, I told him that he could study with me or utilize
additional tutoring and office hours to understand the material better instead of relying on cheating.
However, he remained firm on his stance and warned me not to tattletale. I was worried that my actions
would damage our friendship, but I knew I had to do the right thing. The day before the final, I met with
my professor privately and told her about what I had witnessed. She appreciated me coming forward
and said she would handle the issue. After taking my final, my friend told me that he failed the class due
to reported cheating. He scolded me and said he never wanted to see me again.
Despite the repercussions I received, my integrity demonstrated consistency in my character while
struggling to compromise a friendship vs. my ethics. In my life, it is essential to be always steadfast in my
values, being diligent in my work to display responsibility, trustworthiness, and honesty. Integrity enables
me to improve the relationships

How to Respond to an Offensive Comment at Work/Doctor's practice - ✔✔She advises slowing down and
thinking through what just happened. Ask yourself why you are having the emotional response that you
are, and give yourself time to feel those emotions before you decide what to do. "Personally, when I've
let my emotions get the best of me, I didn't get the results that I wanted," she says. Your initial goal is to
make a rational decision, one that you'll feel good about later on, for how to respond.
here are good reasons to speak up, such as "preserving your own sense of integrity" and "ridding the
workplace of racism," notes Williams. "If you don't speak up, you're signaling that this is OK. You've
essentially just given the person permission to do it again.""addressing offensive behavior in the right
way in the moment can change it in the future."
Managers have a responsibility (in some cases a legal one) to make sure no one feels threatened or
uncomfortable at work,
So ask yourself: How does this person normally react to being challenged? Are they generally self-aware?
Well-intentioned?
You'll also want to consider the person's authority over you and whether they're likely to penalize you for
speaking up. "Your job security or personal safety may be at risk,"
Have you witnessed acts of discrimination in your life? If so, how have you dealt with them? - ✔✔Racism
