Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Information security is the protection of information against threats to its integrity, inadvertent disclosure, or availability.

Answer to Question 2

1,3,5
Rationale: All papers containing personal health information (PHI) such as prescriptions, laboratory specimen labels, identification bracelets, meal descriptions, addressograph plates or any other items that carry a client's name, address, Social Security number, date of birth, or age must be destroyed. For tracking purposes, each page of output should have a serial number or other means of identification so that an audit trail is maintained that identifies what each paper record is as well as the date and method for destruction and the identity of individuals witnessing the destruction. Storage media should be destroyed or files electronically written over to ensure that no information can be retrieved from them. File deletion software overwrites files with meaningless information so that sensitive information cannot be accessed. Unauthorized or dormant e-mail accounts should be destroyed.
