please check my answer thanks :)

Confidentiality of medical information is protected by......
1. the US Constitution
2. no laws at all only by custom
3. none of the above

My answer...
I said #2

There are laws, I immediately think of HIPAA as an example.

ok so out of the choices I have to pick form it would be the US constitution then

The Constitution guarantees us the freedom from unnecessary searches. Since that is so broad, BobPursley is right that its more current laws that protect the confidentiality of medical information. In my opinion, your best answer is # 3.

To check if your answer is correct, we need to examine the options given and determine which one accurately represents the protection of confidentiality of medical information.

Option 1 suggests that the US Constitution protects the confidentiality of medical information. This is partially true. While the US Constitution does not explicitly address medical confidentiality, it provides the right to privacy, which can indirectly protect medical information.

Option 2 suggests that there are no laws in place to protect the confidentiality of medical information, but it is only protected by custom. This answer is incorrect. In reality, there are legal protections in place to safeguard medical information from unauthorized disclosure.

Based on the analysis above, it is clear that the correct answer is not #2.

Therefore, the correct answer is #3, none of the above. The confidentiality of medical information is actually protected by specific laws and regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the United States. These laws establish standards for the protection of medical information and outline severe penalties for unauthorized disclosure.

In summary, your answer of #2 is incorrect. The correct answer is #3, none of the above.
