Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The FDA, FTC, and Health Canada have joined together to prosecute unscrupulous marketers who use the Internet to prey on the sickest and most vulnerable consumers.

Their website offers information on how to recognize health fraud and buying health care products on the Internet.

Ans: D
Feedback:
Ideally, investigation of a treatment uses a double-blind approach, in which neither clients and their families, nor the researcher recording results, know what treatment a subject is receiving.
