Extract:
A nurse is reviewing information about the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates a need for further teaching?
Question 1 of 5
HIPAA is a federal law, not a state law
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is indeed a federal law, not a state law. This is because it was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996 to protect sensitive patient health information. State laws may provide additional privacy protections, but HIPAA sets the baseline standards across the entire country.
Therefore, D is the correct choice.
Regarding the other options:
A: A client's address being personally identifiable information is accurate, but it is not directly related to the federal vs. state law distinction.
B: This choice correctly describes one of the key provisions of HIPAA, but it does not address the federal vs. state law aspect of the question.
C: This statement is incorrect because HIPAA restricts the disclosure of protected health information to family members without the patient's authorization, except in certain specific situations.
