Answer:

The correct answer is b. False

Explanation:

Pericardium is the protective membrane that surrounds the heart. It consists of two-layer first the fibrous pericardium made up of dense connective tissues and serous pericardium.

Serous pericardium is a doubled layer membrane the outer layer is called parietal serous pericardium and the inner layer is called visceral serous pericardium or epicardium.

Between parietal and visceral serous membrane pericardial fluid is present which functions in the reduction of friction between two membranes. So epicardium is visceral serous pericardium not fibrous pericardium.

Therefore, the correct answer is b. False.

True or False - Using secured and encrypted laptops is one way to deter an impermissible use or disclosure that could result in

Allushta [10]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 was a bill enacted by the 104th U.S Congress and was signed in 1996 by President Bill Clinton. It is a federal law that protects sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without their knowledge, approval or consent and payment of health care insurance for employees.

e-PHI is an abbreviation for electronic protected health information and it can be defined as the health information of a patient which must be generated, stored, transfered or received only in a digital (electronic) format.

In the United States of America, the management of e-PHI is governed by HIPAA Security Rule. Thus, electronic protected health information guarantees confidentiality and the integrity of a health facility and its staffs with respect to a patient.

Encryption is a form of cryptography and typically involves the process of converting or encoding informations in plaintext into a code, known as a ciphertext. Once, an information or data has been encrypted it can only be accessed and deciphered by an authorized user.

Hence, using secured and encrypted laptops is one way to deter an impermissible use or disclosure that could result in a breach, as it requires verifying the identity of an individual or electronic device through authentication.
