Which is an example of improper PHI disposal?

Answer

The correct answer is Throwing a prescription bottle with readable information in the trash, as prescription labels contain Protected Health Information (PHI) and must be shredded or rendered unreadable to comply with privacy regulations such as HIPAA. Shredding paper PHI, using locked recycle bins, and cutting an ID bracelet to obscure identifiers are all proper methods of securing and disposing of PHI.
