Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Immunization information systems exemplify public health systems that implement vocabulary and messaging standards, that are used to make public health decisions in a clinical setting, and that provide data for public health policy. The others lack one or more of the stated elements.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Public health is concerned with the health of populations and communities rather than the individual, and therefore, its focus is on the health and prevention of illness of populations.
