Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: A Web portal requires users to register, thus obtaining information from the user that allows the site to personalize information for that user. It also assists the user in obtaining individualized, personalized information. Web portals use many markup languages, and provide the user with the ability to search and retrieve information (as do other websites).

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Consumers have access to a wide-range of resources that have the potential for informing their health care decisions and thus promoting a greater responsibility for self-care. Although there is agreement that the Internet is a boon for consumers because they have easier access to information, clinicians are also concerned that the poor quality of some information on the Web has the potential to undermine informed decision-making.
