Question 1 of 5
How has the federal government attempted to support health care providers with compliance requirements associated with the adoption of electronic health records (EHRS)?

Question 3 of 5
Which of the following factors limits the usefulness of electronic health care information for consumers?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The lack of standardization and oversight leads to variable quality and reliability of online healthcare information, limiting its usefulness for consumers. Many reliable resources are free or low-cost, and the rapid expansion of internet providers enhances access, not limits it.

A nurse is monitoring a child for manifestations of hemorrhage following a tonsillectomy. Which of the following findings is a manifestation of this postoperative complication?

Question 5 of 5
What term is used to identify requirements associated with the implementation of electronic health records (EHRS) that are designed to improve the delivery of health care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Meaningful use refers to a set of criteria established to ensure that EHRs are used effectively to improve healthcare delivery, enhance patient safety, and facilitate data sharing. Performance reporting involves tracking outcomes but is not a requirement for EHR implementation. Support activities are secondary tasks, not core requirements. Core functions describe essential features of an EHR but do not encompass the broader goals of meaningful use.
