I feel confused about whether PHI in transit is still considered PHI. I think D might be misleading, but I'm not sure.

I practiced a similar question about what constitutes PHI, and I think it definitely includes information on paper, so C doesn't sound right.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think handwritten notes by physicians can still be considered PHI, which makes B seem wrong.

The wording of these options is tricky. I'll need to think through each one methodically to determine which one best matches the definition of protected health information.

This is a good test of my XSLT knowledge. I'll need to carefully analyze each output option to see which one matches the expected transformation.

Whoever wrote these options must have had a wild night before the exam. D is clearly the correct answer - PHI doesn't include stuff that's 'in transit'. Come on, people, let's use our heads here!

Option E is an interesting one. Isn't de-identified health info supposed to be exempt from PHI rules? Ah well, I'll go with A to play it safe.

That's a good point, Gwenn. De-identified health information is also important to protect, so option E) could be a valid choice too.
