Cevap

The correct actions include sharing information privately with the interdisciplinary care team, verifying a telephone caller's identity with a privacy code, and locking the electronic health record screen before leaving it unattended.
Appropriate adherence to confidentiality guidelines requires balancing secure data handling with permitted disclosures. Sharing protected health information with a consulting therapist during a private interdisciplinary conference is a legally permitted disclosure for treatment purposes. Furthermore, utilizing a facility-designated privacy code accurately verifies caller authorization before information is released. Finally, locking unattended electronic health record screens is a necessary physical safeguard to prevent unauthorized data access in high-traffic clinical areas.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the action regarding the interdisciplinary care conference.
Sharing information with the physical therapist in a private setting is determined to be appropriate.
HIPAA privacy rules permit the sharing of protected health information among healthcare professionals for the purpose of treatment and care coordination.
2
Evaluate the action regarding telephone updates.
Using a privacy code to verify identity before giving an update is determined to be appropriate.
Privacy codes ensure that clinical information is only released to individuals the client has explicitly authorized.
3
Evaluate the action regarding the electronic health record workstation.
Locking the screen before assisting the client is determined to be appropriate.
Securing unattended screens prevents unauthorized viewing of protected health information, fulfilling security rule requirements.
4
Review the remaining actions for legal or scope of practice violations.
Delegating result explanations to unlicensed personnel, posting a diagnosis on a door, and failing to report child abuse are identified as inappropriate.
These actions violate the nursing scope of practice, public privacy standards, and mandatory reporting laws, respectively.
