Answer to Question 1

2. Install a firewall.

Rationale:
The Security Rule of HIPAA includes the assignment of individual passwords to each staff member for logging on and off computer files. Client information should not be displayed if the terminal is unattended, regardless of which direction the monitor faces; never leave a monitor unattended after logging on. Computer-generated materials should be shredded when no longer needed.

Answer to Question 2

4. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis

Rationale:
The typical clinical presentation of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis in otherwise healthy children begins 3 to 5 days after exposure to the virus. The early signs of a mild infection include rhinorrhea or a runny nose, cough, irritability, and a low-grade fever for 1 to 3 days. A fever might not be associated with the common cold. A runny nose and cough might not be associated with meningitis. Bronchitis has a distinctive cough and may or may not be associated with a fever.
