According to HIPAA, which term describes a threat to a person's health or safety that can be explained or articulated and is substantial?

  1. Critical threat

  2. Imminent danger

  3. Articulable and significant threat

  4. Potential harm

The correct answer is: Articulable and significant threat

According to HIPAA, a "substantial" threat to a person's health or safety must be one that can be "articulated and significant." While some may argue that "Critical threat" may be a close option, it does not include the requirement of being articulated. "Imminent danger" may also seem like a viable choice, but it does not necessarily have to be significant. This leaves us with "Potential harm" which is too broad and does not include the requirement of being articulated. Hence, "Articulable and significant threat" is the correct term that describes a threat to a person's health or safety according to HIPAA guidelines.
