Answer #1

A nursing assistant can definitely hear a doctor and a patient taking medical history but unauthorized access to the records and disclosure of the data only comes under breach of confidentiality.

Based on the type of breach whether intentions disclosure or negligence, he/she are liable of paying administrative penalties or civil law damages according to HIPAA rules.
