Correct Answer
B. Use the terms, even if you are unsure

Explanation
The correct answer is "use the terms, even if you are unsure." This is because using medical terms without being sure of their meaning or proper usage can lead to miscommunication and potential harm to patients. It is important to practice spelling and pronouncing medical terms correctly and to confirm their spelling or pronunciation when unsure.

Tick the following communication where a health worker must know the correct pronunciation of medical terms?
- A.
  
  Telephone

- D.
  
  Writing an email
- E.

Correct Answer(s)
A. TelepHone
B. Speaking with clients
C. Discussing a medical claim

Explanation
A health worker must know the correct pronunciation of medical terms when communicating over the telephone, speaking with clients, and discussing a medical claim. This is because these forms of communication involve direct interaction with patients or colleagues, where clear and accurate pronunciation is crucial for effective understanding and conveying of medical information. The other options, writing an email and filing an invoice, do not necessarily require immediate verbal communication and therefore do not necessarily require knowledge of correct pronunciation.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Completing documentation correctly is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of records. Proper documentation ensures that information is recorded accurately, consistently, and in a standardized format, making it easier to understand and interpret the data. It also helps to prevent errors, misunderstandings, and discrepancies that may arise from incomplete or inaccurate documentation. By maintaining the integrity of the records, organizations can rely on the information for decision-making, analysis, audits, and legal purposes. Therefore, the statement "Completing documentation correctly maintains the integrity of the records" is true.

Explanation
To ensure documentation is completed correctly, it is important to ensure that it is grammatically correct to maintain clarity and professionalism. Proofreading is necessary to identify and correct any errors or mistakes in the document. It is crucial to capture all the required information accurately to avoid incomplete or inaccurate documentation. Confirming the spelling of names and locations is essential to maintain accuracy and avoid any misunderstandings. Completing client documents without their presence may lead to errors or missing information, so it is not recommended.

- B.
  
  Both statements are true
- C.
  
  Both statements are false
- D.
  
  The first statement is false, the second statement is true
Correct Answer
A. The first statement is true, the second statement is false

Explanation
The first statement is true because written procedures do indeed define the structure and appearance of all written correspondence. This includes emails and written letters. However, the second statement is false because SMS messaging, like any other form of communication, should also follow policies and procedures. While the specific policies and procedures for SMS messaging may differ from those for written correspondence, there are still guidelines and expectations that should be followed to ensure effective and professional communication.
