Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Interactions with the client are important to assess for appropriateness.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Of greatest importance in the portfolio is the evaluation of the student's clinical performance. Sample thank-you letters are not shared with employers but used to help the student write a letter of thanks following an interview. High school transcripts and the acceptance letter from the school of nursing are not components of the portfolio. The title page and table of contents are designed when all components are collected, and are among the last things entered.
