Which software type allows an MA to sort, retrieve, and combine information about patients with a family history of breast cancer?

Spreadsheet software
Database management software
Word processing software
Presentation software

The correct answer is: Database management software

Database management software is the correct answer because it is specifically designed for organizing and storing large amounts of data, such as patient information and family history. Spreadsheet software may be helpful for organizing and manipulating data, but it is not designed for the specific task of managing patient information. Word processing software is primarily used for creating documents and may not have the necessary functions to sort and retrieve patient data. Presentation software is used for creating visual presentations and is not well-suited for managing and organizing data. Therefore, B is the most appropriate choice for this task.
