Answer
A
true
B
false

Explanation

Both statements are true: a patient’s diagnosis and treatment are health information that HIPAA protects. If a coworker brings up the patient, the appropriate response is, “It’s really not appropriate for us to discuss this.” Speculating about how the patient became ill would disclose or spread private information.
