Public-health RAG must give the model both retrieved clinic-policy chunks and the staff question. What should the solution send?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You get a grounded answer when you send the model both the staff question and the retrieved clinic-policy chunks. That pair gives it the question to answer and the policy evidence to use.
Full Explanation
Public-health RAG should send the retrieved clinic-policy chunks together with the staff question so the model can use both the staff intent and grounded policy evidence when generating its answer. This paired payload is the defining RAG request shape: retrieval output and the question travel together into the model call. Sending the staff question alone fails because the model must rely on unconstrained general knowledge rather than clinic-policy evidence. Sending an empty payload with neither question nor chunks provides no task and no evidence, so a meaningful grounded response is not possible. Sending unrelated cafeteria menus fails because irrelevant text cannot ground clinic or operational policy answers and may actively mislead the model. Exam caveat: both pieces must be present and clearly delineated in the prompt, such as with separate context and question labels; concatenating huge, unranked dumps can still drown out the relevant chunk. Practical check: retrieve the top clinic-policy chunks, assemble a prompt containing those chunks and the staff question, call the model, and evaluate whether its answers refer to the supplied policy text rather than unsupported advice.
