Answer 1

False. Registered Technologists (RTs), like all healthcare professionals, must adhere to patient confidentiality and health laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the United States. They are responsible for maintaining patient privacy and handling sensitive health information, regardless of their collaboration with physicians.
