In this scenario the needle stick is the portal of entry in the chain of transmission. The susceptible host is Felicia, the infectious agent is the blood of the patient on the needle, the needle stick is the portal of entry because it is how the infection entered Felicia, the reservoir is the patient (the host) as that is where the infection lives and the portal or exit would be the vein of the host (where the infection is located).
b. the attending nurse
c. the medical facility that’s caring for the patient
d. the person who creates the data in the record
Answer: D. the person who creates the data in the record
Explanation: Authentication is the confirmation of the content of an entry in a medical record. It acts as verification of the accuracy of the information. An entry could be authenticated with a signature, an initial, or with a computer-generated code.
Physical entry of the data may be delegated.
Authentication, on the other hand, must be performed by the person who creates the data. This requirement is logically required by the very notion of authentication—that is, only the person who created the information can truly verify it. For example, a physician may dictate the details of a patient’s history, physical examination, and medical decision making into a handheld dictation device. The physician’s voice recording is later retrieved by a medical transcriptionist, who types the dictation into the form of a medical report. The medical coder retrieves information from the typed medical report and assigns codes to it. These codes determine the amount that the insurance company will pay the physician for the services provided to the patient...PF
So how did that other answer get verified?
A certificate of destruction is typically required in specific situations where there is a need to verify that certain items, materials, or confidential information have been properly destroyed.
The certificate serves as an official document that attests to the completion of the destruction process according to specific guidelines and standards. Some common scenarios where a certificate of destruction is required include:
In industries where sensitive or confidential data is handled, such as healthcare, finance, or government agencies, when electronic devices like hard drives, CDs, or USB drives containing sensitive information are no longer needed or have reached the end of their lifecycle, they must be securely destroyed.
A certificate of destruction is then issued to prove that data-bearing devices have been effectively wiped or physically destroyed, ensuring compliance with data security and privacy regulations.
