Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The gatekeeper controls outsiders' access to the group. The follower seeks and accepts the au-thority or direction of others. The leader guides and directs group activity. The task specialist focuses or directs movement toward the main work of the group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
One of the ways to assess the reliability and validity of Internet sources is to look at its currency, including the dates when the content was posted and updated. The Internet has reliable infor-mation, but the quality of the information must be assessed. Pharmaceutical websites may have biased information. Physicians are another source of information, but this may or may not be better than what is found on the Internet.
