1. Your answer is correct. The options B and C are both potential solutions to prevent the use of unfamiliar abbreviations. Designating an approved abbreviations list (option B) and incorporating the specific abbreviation into the approved list (option C) can ensure that all healthcare providers are familiar with the abbreviations that should be used.

2. Your answer is correct. The clerk is performing a quantitative record analysis by identifying a missing report. Quantitative analysis involves measuring and analyzing numerical data, such as the presence or absence of specific records or reports.

3. Your answer is incorrect. When a hospital is involved in a lawsuit, the governing board (option A) is responsible for participation. The governing board is responsible for overseeing the operations and policies of the hospital, including legal matters. The doctors and nurses involved in the case may be called upon to provide testimony or information, but they are not primarily responsible for participation.

4. Your answer is incorrect. The possible disadvantage of open shelf files is not increased operational efficiency (option A). Open shelves can actually lead to decreased operational efficiency as it may take more time to locate and retrieve specific files from open shelves compared to file cabinets. The other options (B, C, and D) do not mention disadvantages of open shelf files.

5. Your answer is incorrect. A deficiency form is not compiled as a consequence of authentication of the medical record (option C). A deficiency form is typically compiled as a result of a qualitative analysis (option B). Qualitative analysis involves assessing the completeness and accuracy of the medical record, including identifying missing or incomplete information. Progress notes (option D) are part of the medical record and may be reviewed during the qualitative analysis, but they are not the direct cause of a deficiency form.

Corrected answer for question 3: The governing board (option A) is responsible for participation when a hospital is involved in a lawsuit.
