Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act authorized development of a national, near real-time information network. This network coordinates federal and state response to public health emergencies. The HIPAA security rule requires continuity planning and disaster recovery processes. The SarbanesOxley Act legislates corporate responsibility; it impacts the health care industry by increasing demands for fiscal responsibility and accurate financial reports and disclosure. The Federal Information Privacy and Security Act established a minimum standard of performance for the protection of information and information systems managed by federal agencies, their contractors, and other agencies acting on their behalf.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Correct. An experienced staff nurse who has clinical experience in the institution would be very useful as a resource person.
