Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

What action is required after recovering information from a breach?

1. Destroying the information if it cannot be recovered

2. Publishing a public apology in a newspaper

3. Changing the pharmacy's name

4. Offering free services to affected individuals

The correct answer is: Destroying the information if it cannot be recovered

After recovering information from a breach, it is essential to destroy the information if it cannot be properly secured and protected. This is necessary to prevent any further breaches and protect the privacy of individuals whose information was compromised. Option B, publishing a public apology in a newspaper, may be a proactive measure to inform the public about the breach, but it is not the immediate action required. Option C, changing the pharmacy's name, does not address the issue of the information breach and is not a necessary action. Option D, offering free services to affected individuals, may be a gesture of goodwill, but it does not address the root problem of securing the compromised information. Therefore, the most appropriate and necessary action after recovering information from a breach is to destroy it if it cannot be properly secured.
