A pct is teaching a pt about HIPAA regulations, which of the following client
statements indicate an understanding of the teaching?
-I do not need to give my provider permission to share my health info with my
family members
-My provider is required to report if I receive a diagnosis of tuberculosis
-If I require an interpreter, my provider cannot share my health info with them
-If I am injured at work my employer has a right to see my health information
-I do not need to give my provider permission to share my health info with my
family members: HIPAA regulations require the patient to sign a consent form
in order for the provider to give a third party access to the patient's protected
health information. This also applies to family members.
-My provider is required to report if I receive a diagnosis of tuberculosis: HIPAA
regulations require providers to report instances of communicable diseases, including
tuberculosis, to prevent an outbreak in the community.
-If I require an interpreter, my provider cannot share my health info with them: HIPAA
regulations require that a patient's protected health information is kept confidential.
However, sharing a patient's information with a medical interpreter is
necessary to provide effective care and is therefore allowed by HIPAA
regulations.
-If I am injured at work my employer has a right to see my health information: HIPAA
regulations require the patient to sign a consent form in order for the provider
to give a third party access to the patient's protected health information. This
applies to the
patient's employer, even if the patient sustained an injury at work.

A pct is recording a pt's output and notes that the pt voided a small amount of dark
yellow urine. The pt is flushed and reports dry mouth. The tech should identify that
these findings indicate what?
Dehydration
Frequent urination
Adequate fluid intake
Urinary incontinence
Dehydration: With dehydration, urine output decreases and the urine is
concentrated, taking on a dark yellow color. The technician should report this
finding and the amount of urine output over the past 4 hr to the nurse.
Frequent urination: Frequent urination can indicate a urinary tract infection. This
patient might have voided frequently, but the characteristics and volume of
urine indicate a different problem.
Adequate fluid intake: Urine output should be approximately equal to fluid
intake. Oral intake of fluids should be at least 1,100 to 1,400 mL/day plus
fluids from other sources
such as food, for a total of 2,500 mL/day. Even at the minimum intake of 1,100
mL/day, the urine output for 4 hr should be about 183 mL, with the standard
minimally acceptable urine output being 30 mL/hr. Therefore, the patient does
not have an adequate fluid
intake, or is losing excessive amounts of fluid through vomiting or diarrhea.
Urinary incontinence: Urinary incontinence is the inability to control urination. The
characteristics of the urine and the amount of urine the patient voids in a
specific time frame are not indications of incontinence.
