Answer to Question 1

B
The employment interview provides an opportunity for the interviewer and the applicant to share information. Response A is incorrect. All applications should be screened, and only qualified applicants should be interviewed. Responses C and D are not reasons for an interview, and hiring based on physical appearance or ethnicity is discriminatory.

Answer to Question 2

C
Elder abuse must be reported whenever it is suspected. Responses A, B, and D are actions that the nurse might be required to take by the individual facility.
