Identify the most appropriate audience of the following: an information sheet describing a

drug company's newest heart medication.

Answer: There are 2 audiences, Physicians and their patients - BUT these are usually two very different data sheets. The patient gets a very simplistic sheet.

Therefore, I would say Physician.

Explanation:

The Data Sheet Designed for your Dr. has contraindications, other warnings, sometimes the molecular structure is shown, (usually to show how the new drug compares to existing or obsolete medications); dosing information and the doses available, along with a long list of assorted information.

Ergo, Physician is the better answer.

Think about who would be affected by the heart medication; people with heart related health issues, and doctors who are treating people with heart related health issues.

The most appropriate audience would probably consist of doctors who specialize in heart related issues, and patients who are diagnosed with heart related health issues.
