Cevap

The correct actions include disposing of the report in a locked shredder bin, folding the document to conceal names in public areas, and storing it in a secure location when not in use.
Appropriate handling of printed health records requires the nurse to keep the information shielded from public view, stored in restricted areas when not in use, and destroyed securely via designated shredding bins once the shift concludes.

Identify the primary goal of the scenario.
The goal is to protect printed personal health information (PHI) from being viewed by unauthorized individuals.

Evaluate each option against confidentiality standards.
Shredding, concealing, and securing documents are acceptable practices. Trashing, leaving unattended, or removing documents from the facility are violations.

These actions align with the practical nurse's legal and ethical duty to maintain confidentiality.
