Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 445

What does the text indicate regarding disclosures of PHI to parents or guardians of minors?

Always require the minor's consent

Presume control over the record for certain services and get written permission

The text indicates that minors do not have complete control over their PHI, and therefore, always require written permission from the legal guardian or parent. This option is correct because a minor's consent is often not sufficient for providing disclosure of their PHI. Option A is incorrect because obtaining the minor's consent alone is not enough. Option C is incorrect because parents or legal guardians do not have unrestricted access to a minor's PHI. Option D is incorrect because guardians do have access to a minor's PHI, but only with written permission in certain situations. Overall, option B provides the most accurate information regarding disclosures of PHI to parents or guardians of minors.
