Answer to Question 1

D
HIPAA provisions have heightened awareness about and encouraged strategies to protect a pa-tient's privacy in health care transactions. This is an example of breach of confidentiality.

Answer to Question 2

A
The Hersey and Blanchard framework suggests that when ability (skills, job knowledge) and willingness are strong, the involvement of the delegator is less.
