Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
HIPAA states that staff must monitor and keep client records secure, and have mechanisms to transfer client information securely and appropriately. Counseling about insurance, supervising staff to make sure work has been completed, and taking additional time off of work is not part of HIPAA.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The fundamental premise of any nursing center is that the community has the most power and influence. The mayor, nursing executive, and staff do not have as much power as that of the community.
