Khrista Montera · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Social distance, 4 to 12 feet, is usually the distance category for most of the interview. Public distance, over 12 feet, is too much distance; the intimate zone is inappropriate, and the personal distance will be used for the physical assessment. The intimate, personal public zones are inappropriate to conduct an interview. The intimate zone (1-1 ft.) is usually uncomfortable for people. The personal zone (1 to 4 ft.) will be used for the physical assessment. The public zone (12+ ft.) is too far away to allow for confidentiality of information or to express interest in someone.
