Results of tests/procedures can be made available to the clients family if the client is unable to communicate well.

True is incorrect because HIPAA does not grant blanket permission to share PHI with family simply because a patient has difficulty communicating, as specific legal conditions must first be assessed and met.

False. HIPAA requires patient authorization for disclosure of PHI to family members except in specific, defined circumstances such as when the patient is incapacitated and the provider determines that disclosure is in the patient's best interest. Having difficulty communicating does not meet the threshold for automatic family disclosure; the provider must evaluate the situation against HIPAA's specific exceptions before sharing any medical results with relatives.
