Answer:

The correct answer here is that as per HIPAA, and the Privacy Rule, there are 12 instances in which disclosure of protected health information may be done, one of them being, when it regards communicable diseases, such as sexually transmittable diseases, to public health authorities, and also when it is considered that the information is relevant to serious threat to health or safety.

Explanation:

HIPAA, also known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which was established in 1996, and the Privacy Rule, sought to establish the guidelines that all healthcare entities had to follow in order to ensure the protection and correct management of private healthcare and personal information of the people they worked with, especially in regards to how digitalized information can be used and protected. Among the many things established by HIPAA, there are also provisions and exceptions to the strict protection rules of personal and healthcare information, among which there are 12 specific exceptions, including the signing of disclosure authorization of information, and also the unauthorized disclosure of information, when the situation justifies it. One such instance, in which a doctor may communicate private health information of a patient, is when he has to disclose this to appropriate public health agencies, or when there is a threat to the safety, or health, of a patient, especially when it has to do with a transmittable disease. These two instances can be used by Dr. Marks  as defense to Mr. Jones lawsuit.

<span>I believe the answer is: Mr. Jones had signed an authorization to disclose the information for the test results and the result should be given to the health department.

By making this authorization, Mr. Jones has given Dr. Marks with the right to handle the information regarding his personal test as long as its within the scope of health department database. This would take out all the legal grounds that Jones could use to sue Dr. Marks.</span>

Ne of your hallmates, Ling, is an exchange student from Taiwan. Ling never goes out with the other students, goes to bed at 9:30
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Overattribution.

Explanation:

Over-attribution is a cognitive bias. Over-attribution is the tendency that people have to attribute the behavior of other people to whatever information  or whatever factor is most present to the person making the attribution.

For instance in this particular case, One is assuming Ling is highly conscientious not because she is a conscientious person, but because one has the information that Asian people tend to be highly organized and responsible.

Right there one is committing the over-attribution error.
