The answer is C: HIPAA and HITECH.

Explanation for each option:

A. False Claims Act: This law is primarily concerned with preventing fraud against the federal government, particularly in the context of healthcare billing and claims. It does not pertain to the privacy of health information.

B. Anti-Kickback Statute: This statute is designed to prevent financial incentives that could influence healthcare decisions, such as kickbacks for patient referrals. It does not address the privacy of health information.

C. HIPAA and HITECH: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) are both concerned with the privacy and security of health information. HIPAA, in particular, sets standards for protecting sensitive patient information and prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of such information. Sharing a well-known actress's pregnancy without her consent would be a violation of HIPAA.

D. FERA: The Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act (FERA) is focused on enhancing the federal government's ability to investigate and prosecute financial fraud, including healthcare fraud. It does not relate to the privacy of health information.

Therefore, discussing the actress's pregnancy without her consent would violate HIPAA and HITECH regulations.
