    Logging off the computer every time one leaves the office or personal workstation is important for security reasons. By logging off, it ensures that no one else can access the computer and its contents. This prevents unauthorized access, protects sensitive information, and reduces the risk of data breaches or misuse. Additionally, logging off also helps to conserve energy and prolong the lifespan of the computer by shutting down unnecessary processes. Therefore, it is necessary to log off the computer every time one leaves the office or personal workstation.

      Yes

      No

    Correct Answer
    B. No
    Explanation
    The answer is "No" because looking up one's own medical records without a valid reason or proper authorization is generally not acceptable. Medical records contain sensitive and confidential information, and access to them is usually restricted to healthcare professionals and authorized individuals. Unauthorized access to medical records can lead to privacy breaches, potential misuse of personal information, and violation of confidentiality laws. Therefore, it is important to respect privacy and follow proper procedures when accessing medical records.

    Explanation
    Looking up family members' medical records without their consent is a violation of their privacy and confidentiality. Medical records contain sensitive information about individuals' health conditions and treatments, and accessing them without proper authorization is unethical and potentially illegal. Respecting the privacy of family members is important, and their consent should always be obtained before accessing their medical records.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that it is acceptable to share work information with a reliable friend or family member. However, this is not necessarily true.

Therefore, it is not okay to share work information, even with reliable individuals outside of the workplace.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Discussing or venting about work on Facebook, even if your page is privatized to only your friends, is not okay. The reason is that even though your page may be private, there is still a chance that your posts can be shared or screenshots can be taken and circulated outside of your intended audience. This can potentially lead to negative consequences such as damaging your professional reputation or breaching confidentiality. It is always best to exercise caution and avoid discussing work-related matters on social media platforms.

Therefore, it is essential to always respect and protect the privacy and confidentiality of patients by refraining from taking pictures without their explicit consent.
