Answer to Question 1

A
Encourage the patient to increase fluid intake to flush and remove excess barium from the body. Barium swallow is a noninvasive procedure for which no trauma would produce blood or mucus or increase aspiration risk. Barium is not a radioactive substance, so multiple flushes are not needed.

Answer to Question 2

D
A good system of computerized documentation requires frequent and random periodic changes in personal passwords to prevent unauthorized persons from tampering with records.
All nurses do not use the same access code. Each nurse should have his or her own password.
Only centralized medical records use the client data is not a true statement. Authorized health care providers from any department can access and use the data.
Many software programs do not have thumbprint identification restrictions.
