    THE MOST SECURE PASSWORDS ARE:

    • NAMES OF SPORTS TEAMS

    • PERSONAL NAMES OR FICTIONAL CHARACTERS

    • COMBINATIONS OF UPPER AND LOWER CASE LETTERS AND NUMBERS THAT ARE AT LEAST SIX CHARACTERS LONG

    • DATE OF BIRTH

    Correct Answer
    A. COMBINATIONS OF UPPER AND LOWER CASE LETTERS AND NUMBERS THAT ARE AT LEAST SIX CHARACTERS LONG
    Explanation
    The most secure passwords are combinations of upper and lower case letters and numbers that are at least six characters long. This is because using a combination of different character types (upper case letters, lower case letters, and numbers) increases the complexity of the password, making it harder for hackers to guess or crack. Additionally, having a minimum length requirement of six characters ensures that the password is not too short and can withstand brute force attacks.

    WHEN DISCUSSING pHI, TRY TO

    • LOWER YOUR VOICE

    • USE OF NONGENERIC TERMS

    • MOVE TO A MORE PRIVATE AREA

    • BOTH A AND C

    Correct Answer
    A. BOTH A AND C
    Explanation
    When discussing phi, it is important to lower your voice and use non-generic terms to maintain privacy. Lowering your voice ensures that the conversation is not overheard by others, while using non-generic terms prevents the topic from being easily understood by those who may overhear. Moving to a more private area further enhances the confidentiality of the discussion. Therefore, both options A and C are correct.

By doing so, the organization can ensure that all software and devices connected to the network are safe and secure. Additionally, downloading antimalware tools to the computer further strengthens the defense against malware attacks. Therefore, the correct answer is both A and B.

    Correct Answer
    A. ASK HER DIRECTLY
    Explanation
    The best way to find out about your cousin's treatment is to ask her directly. By communicating with her, you can get accurate and up-to-date information about her condition and treatment plan. This allows you to show your concern and support by sending a get well card without violating any privacy regulations. Asking her physician or accessing her medical record may not be appropriate if you are not directly involved in her treatment.

    • REFRAIN FROM ACCESSING PHI DURING EMERGENCIES

    • DETERMINE WHO NEEDS WHAT INFORMATION AND ONLY PROVIDE THE NECESSARY AMOUNT AND TYPE

    • DOCUMENT ALL CONVERSATIONS THAT INCLUDE PHI

    Correct Answer
    A. DETERMINE WHO NEEDS WHAT INFORMATION AND ONLY PROVIDE THE NECESSARY AMOUNT AND TYPE
    Explanation
    The Privacy Rule's minimum necessary standard requires providers to determine who needs what information and only provide the necessary amount and type. This means that healthcare providers must carefully assess and limit the disclosure of protected health information (PHI) to only those individuals or entities who have a legitimate need for the information in order to carry out their responsibilities. This helps to protect patient privacy and ensure that PHI is not unnecessarily shared or accessed.

Directing further questions to the Privacy Officer ensures that the individual can get any additional information or clarification they may need.
