Answer to Question 1

1,2,4,5
Rationale: -Network infrastructure: cable installation, wiring, access points, technical standards
-Type of workstation or mobile device: networked personal computer (PC), thin client, wireless or handheld device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), mobile laptop PC that uses radiofrequency technology
-Workstation location strategy: plan for locating and using the hardware
-Hardware location requirements: adequate power sources, cabling capacity, reception and transmission capabilities, privacy to protect health information from casual view
-Printer decisions: number of printers, locations of printers, features such as the number of paper trays and fonts, security to ensure that printed output is handled with full regard for privacy of information

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Group projects stimulate student interaction; this is important when students do not meet physically. Simple, short materials should be posted; because student equipment is variable, faculty should provide materials that can be accessed by older software programs without plug-ins.
