Answer to Question 1

C
HIPAA, enacted in April 2003, includes regulations specifically focused on patient privacy. It is a federal law binding in all states. The Patient's Bill of Rights summarizes the rights of a patient but is not specifically aimed at guarding privacy. OBRA monitors many aspects of care, including the use of restraints, and the Patient Self-Determination Act requires that patients be asked if they have living wills, have given someone durable power of attorney, or have advance directives in place.

Answer to Question 2

C
Psychotropic medications are very effective in treating hallucinations, paranoia, and self-injuring behaviors associated with dementia. A pronounced side effect of psychotropic medications is sedation. Responses A, B, and D are inappropriate uses of psychotropic medications for their sedative effects.
