Which of the following actions is a good example of protecting sensitive information? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer

using a paper shredder to discard documents that contain personal medical information

keeping patient files in a secure electronic file system with limited access

maintaining a confidential patient consultation area in a doctor’s office

discussing private matters with patients in the waiting room

Explanation

Protecting sensitive information means preventing unauthorized people from seeing or hearing it. Shredding documents with personal medical information, limiting access to electronic patient files, and providing a private consultation area all help protect confidentiality. Discussing private matters in a waiting room could let others overhear, so that action does not protect the information.
