portals are specialized websites that personalize features for individual users. Which best
describes how a Web portal can individualize user information?
1. A website that requests the user to register and then sign in each time upon entering
2. A website that provides a home page with general information about the organization
3. A website that uses the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) to display its pages
4. A website that offers specialized search engines for searching out information
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1:
A Web portal requires users to register, thus obtaining information from the user that allows
the site to personalize information for that user. It also assists the user in obtaining
individualized, personalized information. Web portals use many markup languages, and
provide the user with the ability to search and retrieve information (as do other websites).

Question 5
Which of the following is a true statement about protecting the confidentiality of clientrelated e-mail?
1. Encryption keys prevent viruses or Trojan horses from being attached to e-mail messages.
2. Digital credentials utilize biometric means, such as thumbprint, to verify the identity of the
sender.
3. Public key infrastructure (PKI) uses unique codes to confirm the identity of those sending
e-mails.
4. Viruses may be transmitted by e-mail messages, so each e-mail should be separately
scanned prior to being read.
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1:
PKI uses unique codes to verify the identity of the person who is e-mailing the sender.
Viruses are transmitted using attachments (not e-mail messages) and may not be picked up
with anti-virus programs once messages are encrypted. Encryption is used to prevent
unauthorized people from reading e-mail.
Rationale 2:
Digital credential does not require biometric measures to verify identity although there is
increased interest in the use of biometric measures as a means to ensure that only authorized
user’s access private health information (p. 14).
Rationale 3:
PKI uses unique codes to verify the identity of the person who is e-mailing the sender.
Viruses are transmitted using attachments (not e-mail messages) and may not be picked up
with anti-virus programs once messages are encrypted.

Question 6
Which is the most effective way to reduce SPAM (unsolicited e-messages) in the workplace?
1. Use "challenge response software" to request confirmation that the e-mail was sent by a
person.
2. Allow the e-mail application program to filter all mail and send unwanted messages to the
trash.
3. Send and receive all company e-mail from a single e-mail account.
4. Reply to each message and request to be taken off the mailing list.
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1:
Challenge response software (such as CAPTCHAS) will not display the message unless a
person can be contacted to verify that the message was sent by a person. Filtering takes too
much time. A single e-mail account for all company e-mail might actually increase SPAM;
and if one replies to SPAM, this verifies the person's address and even more SPAM might be
sent.

Question 7
A physician wishes to send a very large file to a consulting physician, including a patient's
chart and diagnostic images with reports. Which is the most appropriate method of sending
the data?
1. Utilize a file transfer protocol (FTP) program to upload the information to the physician
2. Remove all graphics from the file, send the file via e-mail, and fax the diagnostic images
3. Attach the file to an e-mail and send it, ensuring encryption is utilized
4. Connect to the physician's computer via dialup and transfer the information
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1:
FTP protocol allows the transmission of large files. Files may be too large to send as e-mail
attachments, and faxing diagnostic images slows down transmission time (as well as
increasing the probability that security may be breached during fax transmission).
Rationale 2:
FTP protocol allows the transmission of large files. Files may be too large to send as e-mail
attachments, and faxing diagnostic images slows down transmission time (as well as
increasing the probability that security may be breached during fax transmission).

security of a health-based website?
1. Connect the Web server directly to the agency computer.
2. Install an antivirus program and update annually.
3. Allow only registered users to access the website.
4. Construct separate firewalls for each Web server.
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1:
Separate firewalls increase security of the system. Antivirus programs must be updated more
frequently than once a year. Web servers should not be directly connected to agency
computers. Registered users may not have given correct information when they registered.
Rationale 2:
Separate firewalls increase security of the system. Antivirus programs must be updated more
frequently that once a year. Web servers should not be directly connected to agency
computers. Registered users may not have given correct information when they registered.

at any time.
3. An intranet is open to registered vendors and may be used to price and purchase health care
products.
4. An intranet is used to facilitate collaborative data sharing among the employees within the
institution.
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1:
Intranets are private computer networks used to facilitate collaborative data sharing among
the institution employees. Intranets remain vulnerable to viruses or hacker attacks, however.
Employees may not be allowed to review their personal information; and vendors typically
access information through extranets.
Rationale 2:

Question 10
Which of the following is recommended when considering World Wide Web home page
content and design?
1. To improve readability always use dark backgrounds with light colored text.
2. Do not include a counter; visitors do not need to know how many people visited a site.
3. Include as much information on the introductory page as possible so the user will not need
to link to other pages.
4. Do not place a copyright notice on the introductory page; the U.S. Copyright Office does
not register Web pages.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1:
The recommendation is not to include a counter; visitors do not need to know how many
people visited a site. Your choice would decrease readability, since dark backgrounds can
cause fatigue. To improve readability, use high-contrast backgrounds such as black text on
white.
Rationale 2:
The recommendation is not to include a counter; visitors do not need to know how many
people visited a site.
Rationale 3:
The recommendation is not to include a counter; visitors do not need to know how many
people visited a site. Your choice would crowd pages with information and images; this is not
recommended. You should limit introductory page information so that essential data are
visible without scrolling.
Rationale 4:
The recommendation is not to include a counter; visitors do not need to know how many
people visited a site. One should register original work with the U.S. Copyright Office and
place a copyright notice with year next to protected material.
Question 11
A nurse practitioner wishes to send e-mail to all clients on a distribution list without
displaying the e-mail addresses of those on the list to the recipients. Which of the following
will appropriately accomplish this task?
1. Include the nurse practitioner's e-mail address as primary recipient and the client addresses
as carbon copies (CC).
2. The nurse practitioner must send a separate message to each individual client as primary
recipient.
3. Include the nurse practitioner's e-mail address as primary recipient and the client addresses
as blind copies (BCC).
4. Include the recipient e-mail addresses as primary recipients and the nurse practitioner's
address as a blind copy (BCC).
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1:
The correct response is to include the nurse practitioner's e-mail address as primary recipient
and the client's addresses as blind carbon copies. The e-mail header lists who sent the
message, when, to whom, and a subject line. Messages copied to clients through "CC" will
make it possible for every client receiving the e-mail to see the e-mail addresses of all the
other clients and, therefore, violate client e-mail address confidentiality. Messages copied to
others through "BCC" (blind copy or blind carbon copy) will not display the addresses of
other recipients.
Rationale 2:
The correct response is to include the nurse practitioner's e-mail address as primary recipient
and the client's addresses as blind carbon copies. The process of sending a separate message
to each client as primary recipient will accomplish the task but would be too time consuming.
Messages copied to others through "BCC" (blind copy or blind carbon copy) will not display
the addresses of other recipients.
Rationale 3:
The correct response is to include the nurse practitioner's e-mail address as primary recipient
and the client's addresses as “BCC.” Messages copied to others through "BCC" will not
display the addresses of other recipients and, therefore, protect client e-mail address
confidentiality.
Rationale 4:
The appropriate response is to include the nurse practitioner's e-mail address as primary
recipient and the client's addresses as “BCC”. The e-mail header lists who sent the message,
when, to whom, and a subject line. Messages copied to others through "BCC" will not display
the addresses of other recipients and, therefore, protect client e-mail address confidentiality.
If one includes the recipient e-mail addresses as primary recipients, every client receiving the
e-mail will be able to see the e-mail addresses of all the other clients.
Question 12
While visiting the American Heart Association website, a client plays the animation of the
heart at work. Which of the following was used to play the animation?
1. Browser
2. Search engine
3. Helper program
4. Plug-in
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1:
A browser is a retrieval program that allows access to hypertext and hypermedia documents
on the Web by using HTTP. There are some things that browsers do not do, such as play
animations. In this application, a plug-in was required (Adobe Flash Player).
Rationale 2:
Search engines use automated programs that search the Web, compiling a list of links to sites
relevant to keywords supplied by the user. The correct answer is a plug-in; it is a program
used to extend the capabilities of a browser. In this case a browser was running in order to
view the Web page and the plug-in was needed to extend its capabilities (to play animation).
Rationale 3:
There are some things that helper programs do not do, such as play animations. In this
application, a plug-in was required (Adobe Flash Player). The main difference between
helper and plug-in programs is that the first does not require the browser to be running to
function, while the second does. The correct answer is a plug-in; it is a program used to
extend the capabilities of a browser. In this case a browser was running in order to view the
Web page and the plug-in was needed to extend its capabilities (to play animation).
Rationale 4:
In this application, a plug-in was required (Adobe Flash Player). A browser was running in
order to view the Web page and the plug-in was needed to extend its capabilities.
