dumpster.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Data integrity refers to
the ability to collect, store, and retrieve correct, complete, and current data
so that it will be available to authorized users when needed. If the data are
faulty or incomplete, the quality of derived information may be poor, resulting
in decisions that may be inappropriate and possibly harmful to clients. A one
minute computer outage would disrupt operations but would not necessarily
impact data integrity.
Rationale 2: Data integrity refers to
the ability to collect, store, and retrieve correct, complete, and current data
so that it will be available to authorized users when needed. If the data are
