Multiple Choice

A copy of this information must be kept in which location unless authorized otherwise?

Protecting privacy and giving the participant control over their information is the main idea here. Keeping a copy in the participant’s home ensures the person can easily access their records and authorize who else may view them. It supports a person-centered approach by locating the information where the participant lives and can manage it, while still allowing a different secure location if the participant explicitly requests or authorizes it. Storing the copy in a broker’s briefcase, a public library, or the participant’s vehicle creates privacy and security risks: others could access sensitive details, or the information could be lost or exposed.
