    HIPPA protects the rights of patients and their health information.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a federal law in the United States that safeguards the privacy and security of patients' health information. It establishes rules and regulations for healthcare providers, health plans, and other entities that handle protected health information (PHI). HIPAA ensures that patients have control over their health information and sets limits on who can access and disclose this information. Therefore, the statement "HIPAA protects the rights of patients and their health information" is true.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Patient information contains sensitive and confidential data that should be protected to maintain privacy and prevent identity theft or unauthorized access. Throwing away patient information in an unlocked bin without shredding or destroying it leaves it vulnerable to being easily accessed by anyone. Therefore, it is important to ensure that patient information is properly disposed of to maintain confidentiality and comply with privacy regulations.

    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is stating that a patient has the right to keep information about their hospital stay private and not have it released to anyone who calls to inquire about their condition or status. This is in line with patient confidentiality laws and regulations that protect the privacy of patients' medical information. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    Human Studies Research Staff are required to have annual tuberculin skin tests.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Human Studies Research Staff are required to have annual tuberculin skin tests because tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease that can be transmitted through the air. By conducting annual tuberculin skin tests, it helps to identify individuals who may have been exposed to tuberculosis and may have developed an infection. This is important in preventing the spread of tuberculosis within the research staff and ensuring the safety and health of everyone involved in the research studies.

    You can inform a patient’s family and friends about their medical condition.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    It is not appropriate to inform a patient's family and friends about their medical condition without the patient's consent. The patient has the right to privacy and confidentiality regarding their medical information. It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to respect the patient's autonomy and only share information with the patient's explicit permission or in situations where it is necessary for the patient's well-being.

    • All of the Above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the Above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the Above" because hand washing is a crucial method to prevent and control the spread of infection. It is important to wash hands after eating to remove any potential contaminants. Similarly, hand washing following the use of the restroom is essential to eliminate any harmful bacteria or viruses. Additionally, hand washing between patient contacts is necessary to prevent cross-contamination and the transmission of infections. Therefore, all these practices should be followed to effectively prevent and control the spread of infection.

    Correct Answer
    A. On outer garment above the waist and visible
    Explanation
    Identification badges should be worn on the outer garment above the waist and visible. This ensures that the badge is easily visible and accessible for identification purposes. Wearing the badge under a lab coat or on any other location may hinder its visibility and defeat the purpose of wearing it. Therefore, the correct option is to wear the badge on the outer garment above the waist and keep it visible.

    What are two approved patient identifiers?

    • Patient Name and Mother’s Maiden Name

    • Date of Birth and Medical Record Number

    • Patient Name and Patient Date of Birth

Using the patient's name helps to distinguish between patients with similar names, while the date of birth provides an additional layer of verification. By using both identifiers, healthcare providers can minimize the risk of misidentifying patients and ensure that the correct medical records and treatment plans are assigned to the right individual.
