Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The power of the US Constitution does not have a direct relationship to health care and reserves most of the power to the states. The other statements are false. The US Constitution does not address health care specifically. Either state or federal laws can be considered the highest source of law depending on which law has the stricter regulation or rule.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) enacting rules for restraint and seclusion for participating hospitals refers to the enactment of law, while the other answers discuss the development of standards and recommendations that do not have the authority of law. There are some health care rules that may define expected behavior, but if these rules were not created by a government entity with legal authority, then they are not health care laws.
