Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. The nurse should use a more complex password that includes a combination of numbers, letters, and symbols. – A complex password is generally good security practice but doesn’t help if the password is left in an accessible place.
B. The nurse should keep her password in a private location that only she can access. – Keeping the password in a private, secure location would prevent unauthorized access, ensuring it’s not visible to patients or others.
C. The hospital should ask all employees to change their password frequently. – Regularly updating passwords can help prevent security breaches but doesn’t solve the issue of visible passwords.
D. The hospital should require all employees to download antivirus software onto their work computers. – Antivirus software helps with malware protection but doesn’t prevent unauthorized access due to visible passwords.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Enabling the narration tool and making the device features more accessible by providing remote technical support. – This option would directly assist the patient in navigating the platform more easily by providing auditory guidance and technical help, making the portal more user-friendly.
B. Enhancing the readability of text. – This is beneficial, but if the patient has difficulties navigating the platform, it may not be sufficient to address their overall usability concerns.
C. Consider changing platforms or supporting the patient's preference to use phone calls. – While this respects the patient's preference, it does not address the potential to improve their experience with the existing portal.
D. Turning on notifications for recurring appointments or enabling a default time-based notification requesting an appointment. – This would improve reminders but does not assist the patient with navigating or using the portal.
