Q&A

The questions and scenarios in this book are designed to be challenging and to make sure that you

know the answer. Rather than allowing you to derive the answers from clues hidden inside the

questions themselves, the questions challenge your understanding and recall of the subject.

You can find the answers to these questions in Appendix A. For more practice with exam-like

question formats, use the exam engine on the CD-ROM.
