During the course of client care, the 21-year-old client tells the nurse that she had an abortion last year but that no one in her family knows. Which of these terms best describes the situation?

1. Consent
2. Privacy
3. Security
4. Confidentiality

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: Confidentiality is the term that best describes this situation. Confidentiality refers to a situation in which a relationship has been established and private information is shared. Confidentiality is essential for the accurate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of health problems. Once a client discloses confidential information, control over its redisclosure lies with the persons who access it. Most breaches of confidentiality occur as a result of carelessness and can be avoided by not discussing clients in public areas or with persons who do not have a “need to know” and through tight control of client records.

Question 4

Type: MCMA

Survivability is the capability of a system as a whole to fulfill its mission, in a timely manner, in the presence of attacks, failures, or accidents. United States Hospitals (USH) is a large national hospital corporation with processing centralized at their headquarters. USH is reviewing their information security plan. Part of their mission is to provide emergency services to each regional area during catastrophic events. Which of the following indicate that survivability has been specifically considered in the plan?

Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. One hospital in each regional area has multiple sources of communication with USH central processing.
2. Emergency power generators for all associate hospitals are tested and serviced each week
3. Each night the system at USH central processing is backed up and stored in a remote location.
4. One hospital in each regional area has an emergency protocol in place for communicating directly with the Department of Homeland Security.
5. One hospital in each regional area is especially prepared to maintain information system functionality for the emergency, operating room, lab, and pharmacy units.
