Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. The recruiter may inquire about language skills such as reading and writing of a foreign
language. Questions about an applicants place of birth are inappropriate during an interview.
Questions about the number and ages of the applicants children or child care are
inappropriate. Proof of citizenship cannot be required prior to hiring.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4
Rationale 1: The client may be about to flee the room, or may be blocking the nurse's exit.
Rationale 2: A blank stare could be related to pathology such as dementia or may signal a violent episode.
Rationale 3: Alertness and orientation do not signal impending violence.
Rationale 4: Preparing for battle signals impending violence.
Rationale 5: It is fairly unlikely that a geriatric client in a long-term-care facility has access to a gun. The nurse must be aware of the statement, but should consider the context.
