The nurse manager is interviewing a nurse for a possible position with the health care organization. Which of the following is an appropriate question for the nurse manager to ask the nurse during the interview?
1. "How many more children do you want to have?"
2. "Are you currently married?"
3. "Can you tell me about your ethnic background?"
4. "Can you tell me about your triage skills?"
Answer: 4
Rationale: It is not appropriate or legal to ask job applicants about their pregnancy status or whether they want more children. This is a form of gender discrimination towards women. It is not legal to inquire about a job applicant's marital status, ethnic background, cultural practices, or the nurse's age. It is appropriate to inquire about the job applicant's skill set required for the nurse's previous nursing positions to determine whether the skill set and the employee would be a good fit for the new position.
