Which example shows that the nursing student demonstrates compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)?
a. The student uses the patient's full name only on clinical assignments submitted to the instructor.
b. The student uses the facility printer to copy laboratory reports on an assigned patient.
c. The student shreds any documents that contain identifying patient information before leaving the clinical facility.
d. The student asks the patient for permission to copy laboratory and diagnostic reports for educational purposes.
C
HIPAA forbids any information used for educational purposes to have any identifying informa-tion; therefore, shredding documents would be appropriate. Full names on documents, printing copies of chart forms, and asking the patient for permission to copy forms would be violations of HIPAA regulations.
