False. Respiratory therapists, like all healthcare professionals, must adhere to patient confidentiality and health laws such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). They play an important role in patient care and are responsible for maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of patient information, regardless of their working relationship with physicians.
