- A.
  
  INCLUDE ALL TREATMENT RELATED DISCLOSURES IN ACCOUNTINGS OF DISCLOSURES
- B.
  
  REFRAIN FROM ACCESSING PHI DURING EMERGENCIES
- C.

Correct Answer
C. 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.

B. NOBODY AT THE ORGANIZATION CAN GIVE OUT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PATIENT INCLUDING THE FACT THAT THE PATIENT IS AT THE HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION IN THE FIRST PLACE

Explanation
If a patient decides to opt out of the facility's directory, nobody at the organization can give out any information about the patient, including the fact that the patient is at the healthcare organization in the first place. This means that not only the registration staff but also other staff members are prohibited from sharing any information about the patient. Additionally, family members or friends are not restricted from visiting the patient, as the question does not mention any restrictions on visitation.

THE MOST SECURE PASSWORDS ARE:
- A.
  
  NAMES OF SPORTS TEAMS
- B.
  
  PERSONAL NAMES OR FICTIONAL CHARACTERS

  COMBINATIONS OF UPPER AND LOWER CASE LETTERS AND NUMBERS THAT ARE AT LEAST SIX CHARACTERS LONG
- D.
  
  DATE OF BIRTH
Correct Answer
C. 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.
