question 15 of 30
am i permitted to look up my sick father’s medical record?
○ yes, if your father gives verbal permission
○ yes, if your father signs a written consent
○ no. staff are not permitted to access anyone’s phi, including their own, unless it is part of their work responsibility

Explanation:

In healthcare, Protected Health Information (PHI) access for staff is restricted. Staff can't access PHI (including family members') unless it's part of their work responsibilities. Verbal or written permission from the patient (father, here) doesn't override this rule for staff, as access is based on job duties, not personal relationships or permissions. So the correct option is the one stating staff aren't permitted to access anyone's PHI (including their own) unless for work.

Answer:

No. Staff are not permitted to access anyone’s PHI, including their own, unless it is part of their work responsibility
