Am I alone on this memory, but didn't this used to be a standard interview question?

Your partner's mother is dying from cancer. She is in a lot of pain and cannot afford the proper medications. You discover that your partner has been replacing the MS with NS what would you do?

I swear that was a standard interview tactic.

Trap them with whats right vs's whats legal. Darn those tricky bastards. :D

Had the guy taken one dose for a injured family member and written it up as a treated and no transport I would have no problem. But to supply his familys meds is just stupid. If she had that many headaches she needs professional help.

As to the trick question, anyone that tampers with the drugs needs to be locked up. They risk the patients health. They cause other providers undue stress when meds fail to act as they should.
