Sample Answer
Ethical Conflict with Supervisor
Response and Actions:
If my supervisor instructed me to do something against my code of ethics, I would prioritize upholding the code. Here’s how I would handle the situation:
- Clarify and Discuss: I would first try to clarify the situation by calmly explaining my concerns and referencing the specific ethical code being violated. Open communication is key.
- Refusal and Documentation: If my supervisor persists, I would politely but firmly refuse to perform the action. I would document everything in detail, including the date, time, specific instructions given, and my reasons for refusal.
