Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The HITECH act is expected to alleviate much of this impediment, setting off a buying spree among chief information officers. HITECH provides financial incentives that assist in defraying some of the costs.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: If data are encrypted, notification of a breach is not required. However, an entity has to validate that data encryption works and meets federal standards (Nelson, 2010).
