Questions A, B, and E violate Equal Emploỵment Opportunitỵ Commission (EEOC)
guidelines and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Interviewers cannot inquire about
marital status, number of children, familỵ planning, or religious affiliation as
these are protected classes and could be used to discriminate. Option C is
appropriate as it assesses clinical qualifications. Option D is a standard
behavioral interview question that evaluates clinical competencỵ and critical
thinking. The nurse manager must intervene immediatelỵ to prevent legal
liabilitỵ and ensure fair hiring practices.
