  • 2. 

    The guarantor and the responsible party are the same

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in certain situations, the guarantor and the responsible party can be the same person. A guarantor is someone who agrees to take responsibility for a debt or obligation if the original borrower fails to fulfill their obligations. In some cases, the responsible party may also act as the guarantor, ensuring that they will fulfill the obligations if necessary. This arrangement provides additional security to the lender or creditor, as they have someone else to turn to in case the original borrower defaults.

    When using an editing function, the field must be selected and the edit function must be displayed in a bold print in order to process edit

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When using an editing function, it is necessary to select the field that needs to be edited and the edit function should be displayed in bold print. This is because selecting the field ensures that the system knows which specific element needs to be edited, and the bold print indicates that the edit function is active and ready to be used. Without both of these conditions being met, the edit process may not be successful. Therefore, the statement "True" accurately reflects the requirement for using an editing function.

    Explanation
    When a triangle is displayed to the right on a menu, it typically indicates that there is additional information or options available. This is a commonly used symbol in user interfaces to signify that clicking or selecting the triangle will reveal more content or actions. Therefore, the statement "When a triangle is displayed to the right on a menu it represents that further information is listed" is true.

    The software used for billing services is not included in the information cycle. The information cycle typically includes steps such as making appointments, registering patients, conducting the actual visit (treatment, diagnosis, referrals, medicine, etc), and processing claims and collecting payments. However, the software used for billing services, although an important component in the overall process, is not explicitly mentioned as a step in the information cycle.

    Explanation
    The encounter form is used to obtain the necessary information to bill the third party.

It serves as a record of the encounter between the patient and the healthcare provider, and is utilized for billing purposes to ensure accurate reimbursement from the third party payer.

    • Shortcut keys

    • Tool bar

    • Menu

    • Typing the function

    Correct Answer
    A. Typing the function
    Explanation
    Typing the function is not a method or tool that allows you to process a function. Shortcut keys, toolbar, and menu are all common ways to process a function in various software or programming environments. However, typing the function itself refers to manually entering the code for the function, which is a necessary step to create or define a function, but it does not directly process or execute the function.
