Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The correct answer is a brief document sent to several CV monitoring vendors outlining plans for expansion to a wireless cardiovascular monitoring system. The purpose of an RFI is to obtain essential information from each interested vendor about its system capabilities related to the expansion to a wireless CV monitoring system. The information received allows elimination of those vendors that cannot meet the organization's basic requirements. An Internet search would not meet RFI requirements.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: A search engine unifier uses several search engines so it may compile results more quickly. Other searches take more time to reveal results.
