Answer to Question 1

The collection of data on infectious diseases and their spatial and temporal patterns is crucial to public health. National Institutes of Health researchers attempted to do this with pocket PCs and the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Information technology (IT) can play a significant role in helping the infection control practitioner. IT can monitor disease outbreaks and spread and collect the statistics that are necessary to even define the existence of an epidemic (an excess of cases over the expected cases).
Computers can create what-if scenarios or simulations of what would happen to an infectious disease if something else happened (e.g., if air travel increased or decreased, the temperature rose or fell, an adequate or inadequate supply of antiviral drugs existed, or if a vaccine did or did not exist). Computer simulations or models may help public health officials prepare for outbreaks in states, nations, and globally.

Answer to Question 2

Any two of the following:

SNOMED CT

MEDCIN

LOINC

NANDA

NIC

NOC

CCC

Omaha System

ICNP

NMDS

PNDS

PCDS

CPT--4

HCPCS

ICD--9--CM

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
