Answer to Question 1

B
Questions that can be used to help with the focus of a P-F-A (purpose-focus-approach) Internet research search include: 1) broad and general (basic information), 2) lay-oriented (to give information to a patient) or professionally orientated (for colleagues), and 3) narrow and technical with a research orientation (Nicoll, 2003). Questions that pertain to the purpose aspects of a P-F-A search are as follows: 1) Are you preparing information to give to patients or families? 2) Is it for personal interest? 3) Do you want to obtain information to share with coworkers or a client? 4) Are you verifying information given to you by someone else?
