A certified nursing assistant (CNA) at a local nursing home logs on to the facility's clinical information system. The CNA can only see information about the clients that were assigned by the registered nurse for that day.
 
  The CNA cannot see financial data regarding any of the assigned clients. This situation is an example of which of the following? 1. Password protection
  2. Computer forensics
  3. Access levels
  4. User authentication

Question 2

Why do most breaches of confidentiality occur?
 
  1. Malicious behavior
  2. System hacking
  3. Intent
  4. Carelessness

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The correct answer is access levels. Based on an individual's access level, information will be restricted on a need-to-know basis. Therefore, the CNA has access to limited information regarding the assigned clients and is restricted from all financial data. Computer forensics is the collection of electronic evidence and is not related to this situation.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Carelessness is the most common cause for breaches in confidentiality. Most health care providers do not intend to share client information or do so maliciously. Breaches can be avoided by not discussing clients in public areas or with persons who do not have a need to know and through tight control of client records. System hacking has not yet become as common as simple carelessness with data.
