Explanation:

First Question (How did Robert Ledley use informatics in the 1950s?):

Robert Ledley's work in the 1950s with informatics in the medical field was related to managing health records (specifically, he was involved in developing systems for managing health - related data). The option "to manage health records" aligns with his contributions in using informatics for health - related data management. The other options: identifying infections is more about diagnostic methods rather than informatics use, tracking dental projects is not his main focus, and preventing bacterial infections is a clinical goal not directly related to informatics use in the way described.

The US Veterans Administration's use of informatics was centered around organizing individual health records. Informatics in a healthcare administrative context is often used for managing and organizing patient - related health information. Identifying infections is a clinical task, tracking dental history is too narrow, and preventing bacteria is a clinical intervention, not a primary use of informatics in this context.

Answer:

to manage health records
