Health Sciences Post Test (Full-Time Staff ONLY)

If you suspect someone is violating the facility’s privacy policy, you should:

The doctor was making rounds and was paged. The doctor left the patient's medical record on the patient's bedside table. The patient asks you to hand him his record. What would you do?

A student may text a faculty member/instructor in the clinical agency to let them know he/she is ready to give medications if only the room number of the patient is included.

A nurse asks you to dispose of some old laboratory reports that fall under the category of PHI. Where is the correct place, under HIPAA Privacy, to dispose of them?

You are reading mail to a patient with vision problems. The patient's doctor was just in the room talking with the patient about a new diagnosis of cancer. The patient is crying and is very upset. A visitor walks in and asked you what is going on. You know what just happened; under HIPAA, would you tell the visitor?

Select the true statements. Choose all that apply.
