4. How do electronic medical records compare to electronic health records?

B. They are both digital, but one includes information from a single facility and the other provides information for multiple facilities.

Explanation: Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are typically limited to one facility and contain the health data collected within that organization, while Electronic Health Records (EHRs) contain a more comprehensive view of a patient's health information across various facilities and providers.

5. Whitney logs on to her health portal to view her lab results. What type of electronic record is she using?

C. personal health record

Explanation: A personal health record (PHR) is a health record maintained by the patient, often through a health portal, where patients can access their medical information, including lab results.

6. Which is a violation of HIPAA's privacy rule?

C. Finn shares test results with a patient's family member.

Explanation: Sharing patient information without consent, except in specific circumstances allowed under HIPAA, constitutes a violation. Unless the patient has authorized it, sharing information with family members is typically not permitted under HIPAA.
