QUESTION

What is a negative impact of the increased use of mobile devices in transmitting health data?

a. They support increased health data access for providers.
b. They increase the risk of a security breach.
c. They decrease productivity.
d. They increase the number of medication errors.

ANSWER:

ANS: B
The largest downfall to the increased use of mobile devices is the increased risk for a security breach. The increased access for providers is a positive impact. Mobile devices have been proven to increase productivity rather than decrease it, and there is no evidence supporting an increase in medication errors due to mobile devices.
