Question

Read the passage and answer the question. Passage: Medical records are the memory of a hospital. Every prescription, test result and discharge summary written into a patient's file becomes part of a story that may be needed years later, when the same patient returns with a new complaint or when a doctor must decide whether a drug caused a reaction. A well-kept record protects the patient, because it prevents repeated tests and dangerous drug combinations, and it protects the hospital, because it shows exactly what treatment was given and when. Yet records are useful only if they are complete and easy to find: a file with missing pages or illegible handwriting is worse than no file at all, since it creates a false sense of security. This is why hospitals now train record officers to check every file for missing entries, to file reports in the correct order and to keep both paper and digital copies safe from damage and misuse. Why is a file with missing pages worse than no file at all, in the passage?
