Answer 1

The correct statement that does not pertain to paper-based health records is that they have a built-in access control mechanism. Paper-based health records rely on physical security measures such as locked storage areas and restricted access to authorized staff.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is a. They have a built-in access control mechanism. This statement does not pertain to paper-based health records. Paper-based health records do not have a built-in access control mechanism because they rely on physical security measures such as locked storage areas and restricted access to authorized staff. Access to paper-based records is controlled by keeping them in locked storage areas that are accessible only to authorized staff (statement b), logging them out according to the organization's prescribed procedure (statement c), and forwarding them to the appropriate service area when needed for patient care purposes (statement d).
