A hospital has issued an RFP for a full network refresh. The RFP focuses on the users, applications, and bandwidth. Which two realistic assumptions would be inferred about this network? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• ARegulatory requirements must be considered.
• BNetwork downtime will not be tolerated.
• CWiFi services must support video.
• DQuality of service (QoS) is not necessary.

• A
  66% (23)
• C
  11% (4)
• D
  23% (8)

Explanation

Hospitals are heavily regulated environments - HIPAA and other healthcare mandates impose strict requirements on how patient data traverses the network, making A an unavoidable inference the moment you see "hospital." B is equally solid because hospital networks support life-critical systems (patient monitors, infusion pumps, EHR access), meaning unplanned downtime is operationally and ethically unacceptable. C is plausible but not inferrable - the RFP mentions bandwidth and applications generically, not video specifically, so it's too narrow an assumption to draw without explicit evidence. D is simply the opposite of reality: a network carrying mixed traffic (voice, telemetry, administrative data) in a life-safety setting demands QoS to prioritize critical flows over routine traffic.

Memory tip: Think "H for Hospital = H for HIPAA + High Availability." Any time you see a healthcare setting on the exam, regulatory compliance and zero-downtime tolerance are almost always safe inferences - they're baked into the industry, not optional features.
