ITPEC FE Morning April 2021 Question 70
ITPEC FE Morning April 2021 — Question 70 of 80
Telemedicine means providing medical care remotely using electronic communication technologies (video calls, messaging, phone) when the physician and patient are not in the same location.
The prefix tele- means "at a distance," which is the core distinguishing feature.
Why not others:
- (a) Describes using computer tech while physically together in a hospital — that's just computer-assisted care, not telemedicine
- (c) Describes using electronic communication while physically together — being in the same location contradicts the "remote" nature of telemedicine
- (d) Describes in-person care without technology — this is traditional medicine, the opposite of telemedicine
Key rule: Tele- = remote/distance. Telemedicine requires both electronic communication AND physical separation between doctor and patient.
