The patient asks the nurse, Why do I have to sign this form? What good does it do me?
 
  The nurse responds by explaining that the form outlines the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), and that HIPAA was enacted primarily to:
  a. Protect patient confidentiality and privacy.
  b. Render insurance companies accountable for payment for services.
  c. Ensure that a person could move his or her health insurance from one place of employment to another.
  d. Prevent cultural, ethnic, or gender-based discrimination against patients.
