Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) states what can be disclosed about a patient and emphasizes patient privacy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The Patient Bill of Rights provides the patient's right to refuse medications and treatments. The nurse has a responsibility to advocate for the patients and assure them of their rights. In addition, patients have the right to be educated about medications and treatment, which allows them to make an informed decision.
