Question 2 of 5
Which of the following best describes an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: EMRs contain information specific to a client's visit or stay in a healthcare facility and are not designed to follow the client across different settings.

Question 3 of 5
A student nurse has designed a database in which data are confined to only one table. The nurse has created which model of database?

Question 4 of 5
Which statement best describes cyberchondria?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cyberchondria is a term used to describe heightened anxiety that arises from compulsively searching for health-related information online, often leading to unnecessary worry about potential health conditions. It is not classified as a personality disorder. While individuals with cyberchondria do search for health information online, the defining feature is the anxiety caused by these searches. It is not typical of most consumers; it is specific to individuals with excessive and anxiety-driven search behaviors.
