Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The emergency data base calls for a rapid collection of the data base, often concurrently compiled with life-saving measures. The other responses are not appropriate for the situation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A follow-up data base is used in all settings to follow up short-term or chronic health problems. The other responses are not appropriate for the situation.
