Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Confidentiality is the term that best describes this situation. Confidentiality refers to a situation in which a relationship has been established and private information is shared. Confidentiality is essential for the accurate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of health problems. Once a client discloses confidential information, control over its redisclosure lies with the persons who access it. Most breaches of confidentiality occur as a result of carelessness and 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.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: HIPAA does not specify the use of particular technologies. It does call for each organization to determine threats and take appropriate protective measures based on their specific needs.
