Cevap
The appropriate actions to maintain confidentiality are shredding printed shift reports in a secure bin, logging off the electronic health record after documentation, and sharing relevant information only with team members actively providing care.
Appropriate maintenance of confidentiality involves proactive steps to protect information. Shredding physical documents prevents unauthorized viewing. Logging off computers secures electronic records. Sharing information with the physical therapist is acceptable because it is necessary for direct client care.
