Which of the following is a type of Protected Health Information related to a person’s genetic data?

The correct answer reflects that the Rh Factor is indeed a component of an individual's genetic makeup and therefore qualifies as a type of Protected Health Information (PHI). Genetic data encompasses information that can provide insight into a person’s genetic characteristics, including inherited traits and susceptibilities to certain diseases. The Rh Factor, which determines if a person's blood type is Rh-positive or Rh-negative, is determined genetically and can have significant implications in medical contexts, such as pregnancy and transfusion medicine.

In contrast, while blood type itself is a medical characteristic, it is not typically classified under genetic data in the same way the Rh Factor is. An address is personal identifying information but does not pertain to genetic information, and employment status, while it can be sensitive, is also unrelated to a person’s genetic data. Thus, the Rh Factor stands out as it is explicitly linked to the genetic characteristics of an individual and is subject to protection under health privacy regulations.
