Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,4
Rationale: Supporting patient care by ensuring continual access to patient information also ensures continuity of care. Until recently, disaster planning focused primarily on the recovery and restoration of data. While it is true that data protection is important for the protection of the business, it is imperative that access to patient care be supported during a disaster so that care may be provided in a timely fashion. Maintaining a hardcopy is a potential method.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Your response is close to a definition of information technology: A general term used to refer to the management and processing of information, generally with the assistance of computers. Information is data that have been interpreted. For example, client blood pressure readings are data. When plotted onto a graph, the client's changes in blood pressure over time and in comparison with normal values turn the data into information.
