Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Individuals who can comment authoritatively and positively on work skills are more valuable as references than individuals who are employed at the agency to which one is applying but who have no frame of reference for commenting on one's work skills, or those who know one socially or are influential in the community.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This individual would know both the academic record and clinical performance strengths of the student nurse. Because the instructor has given positive feedback, this person should be able to provide a positive reference. The program director may not have first-hand knowledge of clinical performance and might be less able to emphasize clinical performance strengths. The nurse who is the student nurse's acquaintance at the health club would be unable to provide first-hand information about academic and clinical performance. A fellow student cannot provide a reference that would have the same weight as an instructor or a nurse with whom the student has worked in a health care agency.
