Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: FTP protocol allows the transmission of large files. Files may be too large to send as e-mail attachments, and faxing diagnostic images slows down transmission time (as well as increasing the probability that security may be breached during fax transmission).

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: A thorough understanding of how information is currently collected and processed is the starting point in performing a needs assessment. This is also known as assessing the internal environment. Methods for accomplishing this include questionnaires and observation of day-to-day activities (Saba & McCormick, 1996).
