A new graduate secures the first interview and wants to work where cultural diversity is appreciated
The applicant feels that accepting this interview was the right choice when the recruiter states, "We do not discriminate based on sex, race, or age and practice inclusiveness of diversity." Which question would reflect this statement?
a. "Nurses must work a master schedule where one month is Monday through Friday and the next month is the weekend shift. What is your religious belief about working on Sunday?"
b. "We offer many benefits for employees such as educational benefits and health insurance."
c. "Our mission is to provide patient-centered care that reflects the belief of the patient and family with an aim to win them over to Western medicine and less superstition, don't you agree?"
d. "Do you have any issues with working with patients who are from a disadvantaged background because we have many people who refuse to work then want free care?"
ANS: B
Correct: Sharing information about employee benefits is not asking about discriminatory issues—it just informs the applicants of availability.
Incorrect:
a. Asking about religious beliefs is illegal.
c. Asking if the applicant agrees with Western medicine and insinuating that other cultures practice superstition is an indirect way of seeking information about creed or possibly nationality.
d. This statement reflects a bias that anyone who cannot afford health care does not work, whereas many people work in positions where insurance is not a benefit, have limited educational levels, or may be a victim of the downturn in the economy and thus find themselves uninsured.
