Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The largest downfall to the increased use of mobile devices is the increased risk for a security breach. The increased access for providers is a positive impact. Mobile devices have been proven to increase productivity rather than decrease it, and there is no evidence supporting an increase in medication errors due to mobile devices.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
By not keeping a patient's records current and up to date, the healthcare provider is violating the fair information principle of data quality and integrity. Correction involves allowing individuals to dispute the accuracy of their information, openness and transparency involve keeping patients informed on policies regarding PHI, and safeguards are actions implemented to protect sensitive data.
