Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
Rationale:
All of the answers are related to existing and/or potential threats to individual, family, and population health. Thus, they are all of concern to public health nurses.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The correct answer is the e-mail is encrypted. This is done so that only the intended receiver can access the information. Knowing the recipient does not guarantee that the e-mail will not be intercepted by others. Non-encrypted messages can be read and public e-mail password protection of mailboxes can be cracked. While having the client's consent is necessary to share information, it does not protect confidentiality during transmission. Firewalls protect a system from unwanted access by allowing only approved transactions to pass through them.
