Question

Under patient privacy laws, from which devices are you not allowed to access EMRs? Check all of the boxes that apply.

cell phones

authorized work computers

home laptops

tablet computers

Answer 1

Check the boxes for:
- cell phones
- home laptops
- tablet computers

Explanation: Patient privacy rules (e.g., HIPAA) require EMR access only from authorized, secured devices. Usually that means authorized work computers. Personal devices (cell phones, home laptops, tablets) are not permitted unless your organization explicitly approves and secures them (encryption, MDM, strong authentication, policies).
