Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Inquiring about a patient's advanced directive is a requirement of the Patient Self Determination Act of 1991. Inquiring about identification, type of room requested, and reason for visit are not addressed by the Patient Self Determination Act.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A health care law or rule defines expected behavior of persons in the business of health care or in health care relationships. Health care law is not easy to interpret or comply with and can only be established by organizations with legal authority for law making. Creators of health care law are often not experts in health care.
