1. The correct answer is A. Both Rollo and John are correct in different ways. Rollo is correct in stating that the standard of behavior required in specific situations in a medical office is referred to as protocol. John is correct in stating that precedent refers to the legal principle by which decisions made by judges become rules of law that apply to future cases involving the same issue.
2. The correct answer is D. Precedent is the legal principle by which decisions made by judges become rules of law that apply to future cases involving the same issue.
3. The correct answer is D. The statement "Physicians need not give notice of termination and time to find another physician as long as there are proper grounds for terminating the contract" is false. Physicians are generally required to give notice and provide patients with sufficient time to find another physician in cases where the contract is being terminated.
4. The correct answer is A. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) pertains to the availability of insurance when the insured changes jobs. HIPAA ensures that individuals have access to health insurance coverage regardless of their employment status.
5. The correct answer is B. In an open access plan, the insured may see an in-network healthcare provider without a referral. This means that the insured can seek medical care from a participating provider without needing a referral from a primary care physician.
6. The correct answer is A. If the basis of a claim is that the doctor's carelessness caused injury, the most likely type of claim being made is a negligence tort. Negligence refers to the failure to provide the standard of care that a reasonable person would exercise in similar circumstances, resulting in harm or injury to another person.
7. The correct answer is A. Respondeat superior is a legal doctrine that holds employers responsible for the negligent acts of their employees. This means that if an employee, such as a healthcare provider, acts negligently and causes harm to a patient, the employer can be held liable for the employee's actions.
8. The correct answer is B. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) most pertains to general health information confidentiality. HIPAA sets standards for the privacy and security of health information and ensures that individuals' personal health information is protected.
9. The correct answer is B. Nurse Jones can take legal action against Dr. Smith through The Federal False Claims Act. This act allows individuals to file lawsuits, known as qui tam lawsuits, on behalf of the government to recover funds that have been fraudulently obtained from government programs such as Medicare.
10. The correct answer is A. Negligence is not an intentional tort. Negligence refers to the failure to exercise the standard of care that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in similar circumstances, resulting in harm or injury to another person. Intentional torts, on the other hand, involve deliberate acts or intentional wrongdoing, such as battery, fraud, or assault.
11. The correct answer is A. If the maximum penalty for a crime is 90 days in jail, then it is classified as a misdemeanor. Misdemeanors are less serious crimes than felonies and generally carry penalties of up to one year in jail.
12. The correct answer is B. The amount that an insured patient must pay for certain services is the copayment. A copayment is a fixed amount that a patient pays out of pocket at the time of receiving medical services, usually at the point of care. It is a set fee, regardless of the total cost of the service.
