Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

A patient might object to information in the medical record that the patient believes is inaccurate. If a patient insists on having something removed from the medical chart, the medical office manager may allow the patient to write a note explaining the objection, which would then become part of the patient's permanent medical record. It is uncommon for a medical office to remove information from a patient's medical record once it is recorded in the record.
