A nurse is using the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Which of the following situations is the nurse most likely experiencing?

A. Counseling an employee that his insurance will remain the same after changing jobs: While HIPAA includes portability provisions, this scenario is more related to human resources than direct nursing practice. B. Adhering to client confidentiality when providing care: HIPAA primarily protects patient health information privacy and confidentiality, which nurses must uphold in daily practice. C. Supervising staff to ensure that all work has been completed: This is a general management function and unrelated to HIPAA directly. D. An employee takes additional time off of work to care for a sick family member: This relates more to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), not HIPAA.
