Answer to Question 1

C
All states have a legal age for consent; generally, this age is 18 . However, emancipated minors, minors seeking treatment for substance abuse, and minors seeking treatment for communicable diseases can provide their own consent.

Answer to Question 2

A
The purpose of an EHR is to document patient care in a single repository as a clinical, financial, and legal record. This format makes the record available as a communication device among health care members, regardless of their location. The record is a compilation of information from a variety of integrated systems.
