Which is the list of rights that every patient can expect while under care?

• A. Bioethics
• B. Patient's Bill of Rights
• C. Epidemiology
• D. American Red Cross

Answer: (B)

Patients have rights that guide how care is delivered, commonly captured in the Patient's Bill of Rights. This set of rights ensures you can give or withhold consent after being informed about your diagnosis and treatment options, understand the information provided about your care, and participate actively in decisions about what happens next. It also protects your privacy and confidentiality, requires respectful and non-discriminatory treatment, and promotes a safe, quality standard of care. You should be able to ask questions or raise concerns and receive clear, timely responses, along with access to your medical records and information about costs and options for continuing care.

Other terms refer to different concepts: bioethics is the study of moral principles in medical decision-making, epidemiology is the science of how diseases affect populations, and the American Red Cross is an organization that provides emergency and humanitarian services. None of these describe the set of rights patients can expect during care.
