1) Pay the healthcare bill within 90 days of service.
2) Become involved in specific healthcare decisions.
3) Show respect for other patients.
4) Avoid knowingly spreading disease.
5) Choices B, C, and D
6) Choices A and B

Answer 1

The responsibilities included in the Healthcare Consumer's Bill of Rights are becoming involved in healthcare decisions, showing respect for other patients, and avoiding knowingly spreading disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Health Care Industry drafted a Healthcare Consumer's Bill of Rights in 1997, which delineates the rights and responsibilities of patients. Regarding the statement of patient responsibilities, one responsibility listed is to become involved in specific healthcare decisions. The other responsibilities include showing respect for other patients and avoiding knowingly spreading disease.

Although not explicitly stated in the question's choices, payment of healthcare bills is generally expected but specific time frames like 90 days aren't typically part of such a bill of rights. Therefore, the correct answer that includes the responsibilities outlined is 'Choices B, C, and D' or option 5.
