Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Conservative, business-appropriate clothing should be the first choice. Clothing should fit well so that it is comfortable to wear. Wearing conservative, tailored clothing will help the employer see an interviewee as one who will dress appropriately at work. One should try not to wear an outfit for the first time at the interview; having worn it before will give confidence that it fits well. The employer is interested in what appearance one will present at work and would not be able to extrapolate that from the applicant wearing an outfit that reflects off-duty personality or hobbies and a casual hairstyle.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It is preferable not to respond directly to a question requiring negatives for an answer. It is better to refocus the question so that one may sincerely say positive things about oneself without sounding boastful. It is probably not true that an interviewee would be unaware of any weaknesses. A prospective employer wants to hire people who are organized. Replying that the biggest problem is the lack of clinical experience has the wrong focus. Having clinical experience in a nursing program is a positive.
