The human resources manager would advise this manager that which practices do not meet the bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) regulation? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. "I like to hire all female nurses to work in labor and delivery and postpartum."
2. "I hire only strong young men as transport workers."
3. "I prefer to hire nurses who have served in the military."
4. "I only hire nurses who are bilingual for work in the emergency department."
5. "I prefer to hire women as unit clerks."
1,2,3,5
Rationale 1: There is no legal reason to hire only females in labor and delivery and postpartum.
Rationale 2: There is no reason an older male or a female could not be hired as a transporter.
Rationale 3: It is not legal to ask questions regarding military service prior to hire.
Rationale 4: Being bilingual is a qualification necessary for work in some emergency departments. The nurse could not hire based on national origin, just on the basis of speaking more than one language.
Rationale 5: There is no reason a man could not be successful as a unit clerk.
