select the best answer: a healthcare worker helps admit a new person who has medicare to an inpatient facility. what should they do to meet regulations and help the person know their rights?

• tell them to look on the internet.
• teach them about medical bills.
• give them a notice of rights and an important message from medicare.
• have them sign a consent to treat form.

Explanation:

To meet regulations and inform a Medicare - eligible patient about their rights during inpatient admission, the correct action is to provide them with a notice of rights and "An Important Message from Medicare". Telling them to look on the internet is not a direct or regulatory - compliant way to inform them. Teaching about medical bills is not related to informing about rights. Having them sign a consent to treat form is for treatment consent, not for informing about rights.

Answer:

C. Give them a notice of rights and An Important Message from Medicare.
