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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
