Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Some of the benefits provided by EHR are consumer empowerment, better access to health
information, and complete and accurate health information. Because of HIPAA guidelines, neither
family members nor employers have easy access to patients' health records. Methods to address the
sensitive nature or EHR as they relate to confidentiality issues are still being addressed.

Answer to Question 2

C
Some of the components of care given under the Good Samaritan laws are care that is rendered in an
emergency situation (the nurse at the water-skiing accident or the nurse who set the broken leg while
hiking) when the health care worker is not being paid. (The fact that the EMT intubated the patient
who was thrown on their vehicle indicates that the EMT arrived in response to a call. If the EMT was
passing by and just happened to see the accident and either had not been called or was off-duty, then
the care would fall under the Good Samaritan laws.) The doctor who delivers a baby during a football
game also rendered care under the Good Samaritan law.
