Problem: In your own words, how does it apply to Medical Laboratory Technicians in each of the following situations: HIPAA
a. You are talking in the lunchroom to your co-workers about a patient result. Are there instances when this might be appropriate?
b. Your mother is hospitalized, and you'd like to view her test results. Are you allowed to do so because she is related to you?
c. What would you say if the patient asks you for their last glucose test result when you are drawing their blood?
