A nurse manager is conducting her first interview. The manager is provided interview guidelines by the human resources (HR) director. Which advice from the HR director is most effective?
1. "Follow these guidelines and do not ask personal questions."
2. "If you are unsure of a question, ask yourself if the question applies to job performance."
3. "You may ask any question as long as it's stated in third person."
4. "You may ask only the questions that are provided."

Rationale 1: Following guidelines and not asking personal questions is good advice, but is likely what the manager already knew. Better advice is more specific.
Rationale 2: As long as the question is related to job performance, the question is appropriate.
Rationale 3: Asking questions in third person may still violate state and federal regulations.
Rationale 4: While having an interview guide is helpful, additional questions may be pertinent to this applicant.
