Using fingerprints for administration of medications is an example of what?

Authentication method
Data security
Data verification by the IS
User compliance

The correct answer is: Data verification by the IS

Using fingerprints for the administration of medications is an example of data verification by the information system (IS) because the system is verifying the identity of the user based on their unique fingerprint to ensure that the right person is administering the medication. This method helps in enhancing patient safety and medication administration accuracy by ensuring that only authorized individuals are providing care. Authentication method refers to verifying the identity of the user, data security involves protecting data from unauthorized access, and user compliance relates to following established policies and procedures which are not directly reflected in the scenario described.
