Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Statutory law has two component parts: enacted law and regulatory law. Enacted laws are the written and passed by a law-making body, such as the state and national legislatures. Enacted laws also can be made by city councils and county organizations. Regulatory laws are made by regulatory agencies to regulate or govern according to established rules. For example, regulatory laws for nursing are the rules and regulations of the State Board of Nursing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
In addition to what a patient may share with you, you have access to the person's hospital records. The law requires you to treat all such information with strict confidentiality.
