    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    If you find PHI (Protected Health Information) on the counter or on the floor, it is important to secure it immediately. This means picking it up and either filing it or discarding it appropriately. PHI contains sensitive and confidential information about individuals' health, and it is crucial to handle it with care to protect their privacy and comply with data protection regulations. Calling the maid or simply stepping over it would not address the need to secure the PHI properly.

This information can be found in various forms, including medical records, which are a key component of the healthcare organization. Additionally, PHI can also be present in conversations between healthcare professionals, as well as on paper documents and computer systems within the organization.

This control ensures that clients' privacy and confidentiality are protected and that their information is only shared with their consent.

    Correct Answer
    A. We do not have any information on a client by that name
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "We do not have any information on a client by that name." This response is appropriate because it respects the client's request for their information not to be released. It also indicates that the caller's request cannot be fulfilled due to the lack of information on the mentioned client.
