Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The safe harbor method involves removal of 18 types of identifiers, and the expert determination method involves the application of statistical or scientific models to de-identify data. None of the other options accurately describe these two methods.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Internal events are those perpetrated (usually accidentally) by people within an institution. A system administrator not taking proper security measures would be an example of this. The remaining examples are all external events.
