An ICU nurse who left the organization two years ago has applied for a night shift position on the ICU unit. The manager pulls the employee?s personnel file, which contains numerous written and verbal warnings
This causes the manager to be concerned about rehiring this nurse because: 1. Of excessive absenteeism.
2. Of a history of substance abuse.
3. Past behavior is a good predictor of future behavior.
4. This nurse just left the organization 2 years ago.

Explanation: 1. The question does not provide enough information regarding what issues are contained in the
personnel file. The question does indicate there were problems with the employee?s past
employment with the organization. The time period of the last employment is not an indicator
there might be problems with the employee.
