Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Using social media tools for research purposes helps to recruit patients, identify new variables to study, and provide insight into the patient's experience. Researchers should be cautious of allowing research participants to communicate and create relationships with social media as this may contaminate findings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Social media is focused on not only connecting and collaborating with others but also sharing user-generated material of all types. While a desktop computer may assist a person to discover social media tools, it is not a social media tool in itself.
