Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Providers may use and disclose protected health information without consent, authorization, or both when they are conducting treatment, payment, and health care operations. They may disclose information without consent or authorization if so mandated by state or federal reporting requirements, such as those related to public health, abuse, neglect, and domestic violence. A unique case does not justify a breach in confidentiality. Similarly, the nurse cannot breach confidentiality solely because the client is a minor or has an antisocial personality.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Ethics are principles that serve as codes of conduct about right and wrong behaviors to guide actions. They are not synonymous with laws, mores, or fiduciary guidelines.
