While the nurse is interviewing at a facility, an interviewer asks, "What is your religion?" What is the best way to answer this question?
1. "It is illegal for you to ask me that question."
2. "Do you require that all employees be of a certain religion?"
3. "My religion does not influence the way I deliver care to clients, and I don't think it is pertinent to the interview."
4. "I provide nursing care in a culturally sensitive manner to people from all religious backgrounds."
4
Rationale: While it is illegal to ask this question, saying that in point blank language would be considered confrontational, and could have negative results. It is best to reassure the interviewer that your religious beliefs, or lack of religious beliefs, will not negatively impact the care you provide to clients.
