I think network mapping and OS fingerprinting are part of the information gathering phase, but I'm not completely sure.

I’m a bit confused because I thought the planning stage was more about setting up the test rather than gathering info.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards the smart card option, as it seems like the most secure and practical solution given the high traffic and need to control access. The other choices don't really address the core issue of unauthorized access to patient records. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The description of "recognizing that the ultimate goal of inspection is the safety and reliability of operating facilities" makes me think the answer is Rcm, or Reliability-Centered Maintenance. That sounds like the most relevant approach here.

I remember we discussed something about alternative funding methods, but I'm not entirely sure which one applies here. It feels like it could be the minimum-premium plan, but the details are fuzzy.
