Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Public health informatics (PHI) is defined in several ways but one of the most widely accepted definitions of PHI is the systematic application of information and computer science and technology to public health practice, research and learning (Yasnoff, O'Carroll, Koo, Linkins, & Kilbourne, 2000, p. 67). Public health has always been about disease surveillance and management and it is apparent that identification of major disease outbreaks, particularly epidemics, influences recognition of disease causation, distribution of disease, and frequency of disease occurrence or transmission (Macha & McDonough, 2012).

Answer to Question 2

1,3,4,5
Rationale: Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Linked In are available online as communication conduits. Individuals join the sites to begin the process.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
