Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1

Rationale: Physicians typically pay a significant amount of their earnings to protect themselves during malpractice cases. Currently in the United States, litigation regarding health care is widespread. Attorneys are focusing on health care due to the amount of money that is currently being awarded in some cases. Juries are awarding prosecuting clients in some malpractice and employee negligence cases multimillion-dollar awards.

Answer to Question 2

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.
