It usually involves the collection of blood, urine, or any blood tissues. All the tests have a standard normal range. The doctor will monitor whether the test results have fallen within the normal range. A clinical procedure is a set of procedures that have an intension of measuring, determining, or diagnosing a patient’s condition or parameter.
Answer to Problem 1SRQ
Correct answer: “Computer networking caused Congress to take steps to eliminate patient confidentiality violations by enacting the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)”. Hence, option b. is the correct answer.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct answer:
A group of computers that are linked for the purpose of sharing is called as a computer network. Computer networks can be used in the healthcare organization for coordinating data, sharing hardware and software, and communicating more efficiently. But sharing of information through computer networking makes violation of patient confidentiality. By enacting HIPAA, Congress took steps to eliminate violation of patient confidentiality. HIPAA is a healthcare law that protects the privacy and security of patient information through the standardization of electronic transfer data and providing guidelines as to how to share protected healthcare information.
Option b. is given as “enacting the HIPAA”. A chance of losing patient confidentiality through computer sharing caused Congress to take steps to eliminate the chance of violations of patient confidentiality through enacting HIPAA.
Hence, the correct answer is option b.
Reasons for incorrect answers:
Option a. is given as “eliminating cable connections”. Congress took steps to eliminate patient confidentiality violations by enacting the HIPAA, not by eliminating cable connections.
Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as “limiting the network size”. Congress took steps to eliminate patient confidentiality violations by enacting the HIPAA, not by limiting the network size.
Hence, option c. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as “not using the Ethernet”. Congress took steps to eliminate patient confidentiality violations by enacting the HIPAA, not by using Ethernet.
Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, options a., c., and d. are incorrect.
A chance of losing patient confidentiality through computer sharing caused Congress to take steps to eliminate the chance of violations of patient confidentiality through enacting HIPAA.
