  A) To introduce the applicant to the employer in a personal way
  B) To state why the nurse left his most recent position

Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Option B provides the most succinct and action-oriented description of the activity.
Option A lacks an action verb, while option C is imprecise and not descriptive. Option D is
less direct and less action oriented than option B.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
A letter of application provides the opportunity for a nurse to reveal a bit of his or
her personality and connects his or her experience to the position's requirements. The purpose
is not primarily to summarize the rsum or demonstrate a work ethic. It is inappropriate to
state reasons for leaving previous positions in a cover letter.
