Answer to Question 1

B
Referent power is the power based on the trust and respect people feel about the individual, group, or
organization with which one is associated.

Answer to Question 2

B
Professionally healthy individuals are satisfied with their career choices, are goal directed, and seek
every opportunity to obtain knowledge and learn new experiences. Some strategies to enhance one's
professional health are goal setting (short- and long-term goals), read professional materials as often
as possible to enhance your knowledge base (not necessarily fiction and nonfiction, but materials that
pertain to your specialty area and to answer questions that arise), join a professional organization, and
network with others within the health care field.
