Answer to Question 1

1,2,4,5
Rationale: Consumers are more aware and have an increase in tools that assist them to understand health, wellness, and illness. With consumer health informatics, there is a new made-to-order approach to decision making.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Challenge response software (such as CAPTCHAS) will not display the message unless a person can be contacted to verify that the message was sent by a person. Filtering takes too much time. A single e-mail account for all company e-mail might actually increase SPAM; and if one replies to SPAM, this verifies the person's address and even more SPAM might be sent.
