A practical nurse (PN) is reviewing standard security practices to protect personal health information (PHI). Pair each potential confidentiality risk with the most appropriate preventive nursing action.
- Stepping away from an open electronic health record to assist a clientLog off the computer or lock the screen immediately
- Disposing of handwritten shift notes containing client vital signsPlace the papers in a designated locked shredding bin
- Receiving a telephone request for a client's health updateVerify the individual's identity using the client-provided privacy code
- Discussing a client's treatment plan with the charge nurseMove to a private area away from public hallways or waiting rooms
Cevap
The correct matches pair each security risk with its standard preventive action: stepping away from an EHR requires locking the screen, disposing of notes requires a secure shredder bin, telephone requests require privacy code verification, and discussing treatments requires moving to a private area.
Each nursing action directly mitigates a specific, basic risk to client confidentiality according to standard practical nursing guidelines. Protecting electronic records requires screen locks, protecting physical records requires shredding, verifying telephone requests requires privacy codes, and protecting verbal information requires private environments.
