Answer to Question 1

C
HIPAA forbids any information used for educational purposes to have any identifying informa-tion; therefore, shredding documents would be appropriate. Full names on documents, printing copies of chart forms, and asking the patient for permission to copy forms would be violations of HIPAA regulations.

Answer to Question 2

C
The cotton farmer in Texas has the most exposure to carcinogens. Chemicals, pesticides, and sun are the carcinogens that this farmer has been exposed to for at least 33 years.
