Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
The use of HFCWO such as the Vest airway clearance system often improves patient attitude toward chest physiotherapy Because the patient is able to perform other tasks while receiving therapy. The HFCWO therapy assists with the removal of secretions from the lungs and decreases the viscosity of mucus, making it easier to cough productively.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
The goal of information management is to support decision making and improve patient outcomes, improve health care documentation, ensure patient safety, and improve performance in patient care, treatment and services, governance, management, and support processes.
