- bThey must tell your employer which illness you haveDe må fortelle arbeidsgiveren din hvilken sykdom du har
- cThey are not allowed to tell you which illness you haveDe har ikke lov til å fortelle deg hvilken sykdom du har
Why?
The duty of confidentiality means that health personnel must keep information about your health secret from others, also from your family and your employer. The law has only a few exceptions, for example when a child needs help or someone is in danger.

They are not the real test tasks, which are confidential and never published, and no text from samfunnskunnskap.no is reused. Each question was written, answered blind and fact-checked in separate rounds. The English translation and the explanations are ours, made with AI help; in the test the questions are asked in Norwegian.
