their information has been shared without their permission (includes to family), and if
patient is not receiving complete information about procedures/therapies.

care they want.

situations

worse than better.

If a patient is receiving care for something you are uncomfortable with what do you do
✅reflect on your own self values and morals
Articulate the nurse's ethical and legal responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of
client information and records. ✅The nurse needs to maintain patient privacy because
they could have to pay a hefty fine or go to prison. Not only that but it creates an
environment where the patient can not trust healthcare and an uncertainty in the patient
that all of their private information is out in the hands of people they do not know. The
patient may also have significant reasons for not wanting many people to know their
history or that they are even in the hospital. We would want to protect them at all costs.
