Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
This is a classic example of a reminder system. Patients are also potential targets of CDS interventions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Ten Commandments of CDS include speed is everything, fit into the user's workflow, and ask for additional information only when you really need it. Alerting may not be the most effective approach to CDS as it may cause alert fatigue, so it is not one of the Ten Commandments of CDS.
