A. TortExplanation
A tort is a civil wrong that is committed against an individual or their property. When someone commits a tort, the court can provide a remedy in the form of an action for damages. This means that the person who suffered harm or damage as a result of the tort can seek compensation from the person responsible. A tort can be either negligent, meaning it was caused by carelessness or failure to exercise reasonable care, or intentional, meaning it was done deliberately. A felony, on the other hand, refers to a serious crime that is punishable by imprisonment.Rate this question:

B. Intentional tortExplanation
An intentional tort refers to a wrongful act committed by an individual with the intent to cause harm or injury to another person. In this context, the phrase "may involve punitive as well as actual damages" suggests that intentional torts can result in both compensatory damages (actual damages) to compensate the victim for their losses, as well as punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer for their intentional actions. This indicates that intentional torts not only seek to provide compensation for the victim but also aim to deter and punish the offender through legal means.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Disclosing patient information to a third party without the patient's consent, even if the intent is to prevent harm.Explanation
According to the RT Legal & Ethics June 2016 guidelines, patient confidentiality is a fundamental ethical and legal obligation. Disclosing patient information to a third party without the patient's consent is a breach of confidentiality, regardless of the intent to prevent harm. Exceptions to this rule include situations where disclosure is required by law or necessary for the patient's immediate care by other healthcare providers. Discussing patient information with family members with the patient's presence and consent, or reporting to authorities when legally mandated, are not considered breaches.Rate this question:

- B.

- C.
When required to protect a vulnerable individual, e.g; souse of an HIV positive patient
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is "all of the above". In instances where the welfare of the community needs to be protected, such as in the case of a communicable disease, information regarding confidentiality may be revealed. Similarly, when required by law, incidents of child or elder abuse, or when a subpoena is issued, confidentiality may be breached. Additionally, if the protection of a vulnerable individual is at stake, such as the spouse of an HIV positive patient, confidentiality may also be revealed. Therefore, all of these instances may require the disclosure of confidential information.Rate this question:

- B.
Discuss only in secure areas
- C.
Discuss with patients family members
- D.
Discuss only with caregivers who have a need to know
Correct Answer
A. B and dExplanation
The correct answer is b and d because discussing confidential information only in secure areas ensures that unauthorized individuals cannot overhear the conversation, thus maintaining confidentiality. Additionally, discussing only with caregivers who have a need to know ensures that information is only shared with those directly involved in the patient's care, minimizing the risk of breaching confidentiality.Rate this question:

D. All of the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is "all of the above" because all three options mentioned in the question can contribute to breaching confidentiality. Improper record keeping can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, reviewing patient charts without proper authorization violates privacy rules, and leaving security passwords accessible to colleagues can result in unauthorized use of confidential data. Therefore, all these factors can potentially breach confidentiality.Rate this question:

The HIPAA privacy rule is designed to strike a balance between protecting information and not impeding the exchange of information necessary for quality care. This means that healthcare providers must ensure the confidentiality of patient information while still allowing for the necessary sharing of information to provide effective and high-quality care. The rule sets standards for how healthcare providers handle and protect patient information, ensuring that it is kept private and secure. This helps to maintain patient trust and confidentiality while still allowing for the necessary flow of information within the healthcare system.Rate this question:
