Answer to Question 1

The veterinary HIM professional is responsible for establishing and maintaining information collection and retention systems that ensure accurate, complete, timely, and confidential health information for use in continued patient care, legal defense, education, and management decision making. Such records also must support the final bill.

Answer to Question 2

False. (Documentation of the consent for euthanasia is best made in writing to verify the relationship of the signer to the animal.)
