Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The correct answer is client care outcomes are improved.. The bottom line for the implementation of new systems should always be the improvement of client care, based on measurable outcomes. Other issues such as client satisfaction, staff retention, and efficient use of the technology are good, but they do not target the main issue.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: A virus checker to increase security for Internet connections is the most likely to be used by health care staff providing direct patient care. Utility programs may be used to increase security and prevent data from falling into the wrong hands. Programming languages such as Visual Basic, COBOL, or Java are used in specialty applications.
