2. Shyness and the inability to manage people
3. Rudeness
4. Laziness

Explanation: 1. A candidate who has no questions suggests a lack of interest or expertise. The nurse?s inability
to make eye contact and appearing timid does not facilitate a good impression. The HR
director may interpret this behavior as rude, lazy, or timid, but the question does not offer
enough information.
