00:01 Alright, let's wrap up that legality talk. 00:04 There's a lot of heavy content and serious stuff, right? But again, please don't forget that this really provides the framework of how we practice, so we can keep patient safe. 00:15 So, don't forget about your Nurse Practice Act, this defines and describes the legal boundaries for us as nursing. 00:23 Also, there's that HIPAA word again, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, also known as HIPPA, is one example of Nursing Law. 00:34 If you remember, this is the one that helps protect patient privacy information and patient treatment information. 00:42 And lastly, nurses, and you guys as students, can be held legally responsible for acts of negligence and malpractice in the patient care setting. 00:53 I hope that was helpful for you today. Thanks for watching.
