Explanation

Protecting a patient's right to privacy is important because privacy laws are in effect, preventing unauthorized disclosure and ensuring that the patient's personal information is kept confidential.

Explanation

Liability can result from various actions or omissions by an allied health professional. If an allied health professional performs an act that causes harm or injury to a patient, they can be held liable. Similarly, if they fail to perform a necessary action or omit to provide proper care, resulting in harm, liability can also arise. Additionally, if an allied health professional is supervising another person who commits an act that leads to liability, they can be held responsible as well. Therefore, all of the options mentioned - an act by an allied health professional, an omission by an allied health professional, and supervising a person who commits an act with liability - can result in liability.

When people bargain for what they want, they are using the resolution method of negotiation. Negotiation involves a process of discussion and compromise between parties to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. It allows individuals to express their needs and preferences while finding a middle ground that satisfies both sides. Bargaining often involves give-and-take, where each party makes concessions to achieve a favorable outcome. Therefore, negotiation is the most appropriate resolution method in this scenario.

Explanation

One who does not check on a patient who is in observation might be exposing themselves to liability. This is because it is the responsibility of the nursing assistant to ensure the safety and well-being of the patient under their care. By neglecting to check on a patient who is in observation, the nursing assistant is potentially putting the patient at risk and failing to fulfill their duty of care. If any harm or adverse event were to occur as a result of this negligence, the nursing assistant could be held liable for their actions.

Submit

Identification allows for a clear understanding of the problem at hand, enabling individuals to then move forward in finding a solution or making a decision.

Submit
14. Computer information can be protected with which of the following methods

Explanation

The correct answer is "all of the above" because all three methods mentioned (using a screen blank, positioning monitors, and signing off) contribute to protecting computer information. Using a screen blank that activates when the keys are not touched ensures that sensitive information is not visible to unauthorized users. Positioning monitors in a way that they cannot be openly seen adds an extra layer of security by preventing others from viewing the screen. Signing off each time the computer is left ensures that no one can access the computer without authorization. Therefore, all three methods collectively protect computer information.

Submit
15. Short term care facilities that provide care for the physically and mentally incapacitated are also known as which of the following

Explanation

Short term care facilities that provide care for the physically and mentally incapacitated are known as rehabilitation centers. These centers specialize in providing therapy and support to individuals recovering from injuries, surgeries, or other medical conditions.

The given correct answer is "torts." Torts are civil wrongs that cause harm or injury to someone, but are not necessarily intentional. In this context, invasion of privacy and breach of confidentiality are examples of quasi-intentional torts. These torts involve actions that violate an individual's right to privacy or breach a duty to keep certain information confidential. While the other options (laws, liabilities, malpractice) are also relevant in different contexts, they do not specifically encompass the concept of quasi-intentional wrongs like torts do.

Submit
18. The principle of doing no harm is called

Explanation

The principle of doing no harm is called nonmaleficence. This principle is based on the ethical obligation of healthcare professionals to avoid causing harm to their patients. It emphasizes the importance of preventing harm and minimizing risks in medical practice. Nonmaleficence requires healthcare providers to weigh the potential benefits and risks of any intervention or treatment, ensuring that the potential harm to the patient is minimized. This principle is closely related to the concept of beneficence, which focuses on promoting the well-being and best interests of the patient. However, nonmaleficence specifically highlights the importance of avoiding harm.

All of the options mentioned (negotiation, mediation, and arbitration) are methods of alternative dispute resolution. Negotiation involves parties discussing their issues and reaching a mutual agreement. Mediation involves a neutral third party assisting the parties in finding a resolution. Arbitration involves a neutral third party making a decision based on the arguments presented by both parties. Therefore, all of these options can be used to resolve conflicts using alternative dispute resolution.

Submit

Explanation

The issue of females not receiving an education would not be considered a moral dilemma because it is a violation of human rights and equality, rather than a situation that presents conflicting moral principles or values.

Explanation

Mediation is the correct answer because it refers to the process in which a neutral third party helps facilitate dispute resolution between two or more parties. The mediator acts as a mediator, helping the parties communicate and find a mutually agreeable solution. This process is different from negotiation, where the parties themselves directly discuss and try to reach an agreement, and arbitration, where a third party makes a binding decision on the dispute. Communication, while important in all forms of dispute resolution, is not the specific process being described in the question.

Submit
38. Which of the following is not one of the usual stages of mediation

Explanation

The answer "submission of documents to a court for approval" is not one of the usual stages of mediation because mediation is a voluntary and confidential process that does not involve the court.

Explanation

Documenting is the correct answer because the action of documenting patient information can vary in complexity depending on the specific circumstances. It can be simple when recording basic details, such as patient demographics, but can become complex when documenting complex medical procedures or conditions. The level of detail required, the specific format or system used, and the need for accuracy and thoroughness can all contribute to the complexity of documenting services provided to patients.

Submit
48. Which of the following is not an advantage of alternative dispute resolution

Explanation

The given answer states that "no attorneys are allowed" as a disadvantage of alternative dispute resolution. This means that in alternative dispute resolution, parties are not allowed to have legal representation. This can be seen as a disadvantage because having an attorney can provide expertise, guidance, and advocacy during the resolution process. Attorneys can help parties understand their rights, negotiate effectively, and ensure that their interests are protected. Therefore, not having attorneys allowed can limit the parties' ability to navigate the process effectively.

Submit
51. Computerized patient records must include

Explanation

Computerized patient records must include a date and time stamp for each entry to ensure accurate and up-to-date documentation. This allows healthcare providers to track the chronology of events and interventions, aiding in continuity of care and identifying any potential errors or discrepancies. The date and time stamp also serves as a legal record, providing evidence of when specific actions or decisions were made. This information is crucial for medical audits, research, and ensuring accountability in the healthcare system.

52. Which of the follwoign people not directly involved in a surgery patient's treatmetn needs to know the medical information in the patient's chart

Explanation

The unit secretary on the floor where the patient is recovering needs to know the medical information in the patient's chart. This is because the unit secretary is responsible for coordinating and managing the administrative tasks on the floor, including updating patient records and communicating information to the appropriate healthcare providers. Although the hospital chaplain, emergency room physician, and any nurse in the hospital may interact with the patient, they are not directly involved in the patient's treatment and therefore may not require access to the patient's medical information in the chart.

Submit
53. Inforation regarding certain health care problems must be especially guarded, including informaiton

Explanation

Certain health care problems, such as genetic makeup, need to be particularly protected due to privacy concerns.

65. Which of the following is different from an intentional or quasi intentional tort

Explanation

Negligence is different from intentional or quasi intentional torts because it refers to a failure to exercise reasonable care, rather than an intentional act or a deliberate disregard for someone's rights or safety. While intentional or quasi intentional torts involve intentional harm or actions that result in harm, negligence occurs when someone fails to take reasonable precautions or acts in a careless manner, leading to harm or injury to another person. In contrast, malpractice, HIPAA, and privacy can all fall under intentional or quasi intentional torts, as they involve intentional actions or violations of rights.
