Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
To emphasize two important points concerning electronic personal health information, users of hospital and respiratory care information management systems and researchers must refrain from sharing passwords and access personal health information only on a need-to-know basis. Some respiratory care information management systems, for example, now feature thumbprint protect-ed security.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Computer-assisted quality assurance in a blood gas laboratory is a critically important function in a respiratory care department, because the accuracy and precision of blood gas data influence clinical decisions and patient safety.
