Question 1

Setting goals help in all the following except:&#10;A) Providing meaning and purpose.&#10;B) Clarifying values.&#10;C) Guaranteeing success.&#10;D) Telling you what to do next.

Accepted Answer

Setting goals does not guarantee success; it helps provide direction, clarify values, and give meaning, but success depends on various factors including effort, circumstances, and sometimes luck.

Question 2

You can increase the chances of achieving your goal by doing all the following except:&#10;A) Setting the goal on January 1.&#10;B) Writing the goal down.&#10;C) Stating the goal in a specific and positive fashion.&#10;D) Writing the goal in the present tense to help you visualize achieving it.

Accepted Answer

Setting a goal specifically on January 1 is not necessary for increasing the chances of achieving a goal. Success in reaching goals is more about the clarity, specificity, and the action plan rather than the start date. Writing the goal down, stating it in a specific and positive manner, and visualizing it as already achieved are strategies that help reinforce commitment and clarity, making them effective for goal achievement.

A goal binder typically contains goals that you have set for yourself, not the goals set by others such as your parents. It's a personal tool for tracking your own aspirations and the steps you're taking to achieve them.

Question 6

An employee who is a good &#34;fit&#34; has all the following characteristics except:&#10;A) They follow the rules, written and unwritten.&#10;B) Other employees like working with them.&#10;C) They have good social skills.&#10;D) They fit the job description.

Accepted Answer

The concept of a good "fit" in a workplace often extends beyond merely fitting a job description. It encompasses aspects such as following both written and unwritten rules, being liked by coworkers, and possessing good social skills, which contribute to a harmonious and productive work environment. Fitting a job description is more about having the necessary qualifications and skills for a specific role, which is distinct from the broader, more nuanced concept of being a good "fit" in terms of workplace culture and interpersonal dynamics.

Question 7

HIPAA provides for all the following patient rights except:&#10;A) Patients can prevent their private health information from being sent to the patient's health insurance company for payment.&#10;B) Patients can see their own private health information and request corrections if there are mistakes.&#10;C) Patients can determine how they would like to receive their health information, such as sent to a specific address.&#10;D) Patients have the right to see the facility's HIPAA policy and know who the Privacy Officer is.

Accepted Answer

HIPAA does not allow patients to prevent their private health information from being sent to their health insurance company for payment purposes. This is because the disclosure of health information for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations is a permitted use under HIPAA without requiring patient authorization.

Question 8

All the following activities are acceptable under HIPAA except:&#10;A) The disclosure of treatment for a mental illness to prevent someone from getting a job.&#10;B) In an emergency, a patient is not immediately informed of his rights under HIPAA.&#10;C) Despite normal precautions, a patient in a semiprivate room overhears doctors talking to the patient in the other bed.&#10;D) A patient sees other patients' names on a sign-in sheet.

Accepted Answer

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) protects the privacy of individuals' health information. Disclosing treatment for a mental illness to prevent someone from getting a job is not acceptable under HIPAA, as it violates the individual's privacy rights. The other options can occur under specific circumstances without violating HIPAA regulations.

You leave the results on her voicemail.&#10;D) You call a patient with the results of her cholesterol tests and get her husband, who was with the patient when you drew her blood.
