  6. F
    Telling a caller who is not on the authorized disclosure list that the client is 'doing perfectly fine' to quickly end the conversation without sharing specifics.

Cevap

The correct actions are locking the workstation screen, leaving a generic voicemail that does not disclose medical details, and verifying a caller's authorization before sharing laboratory results.
Appropriate adherence to confidentiality standards involves strictly controlling access to protected health information (PHI). This includes securing electronic health records when not in use, avoiding the disclosure of medical details on voicemails, and verifying the authorization of individuals requesting information. These practices ensure that PHI is only accessed by or disclosed to authorized parties.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the physical and electronic safeguards required by privacy regulations.
Identify that locking unattended computer screens and limiting the clinical details left on voicemails appropriately protect client information from unauthorized access.
Maintaining confidentiality requires strict control over how protected health information (PHI) is secured in the physical environment.
2
Analyze the legal exceptions to confidentiality, specifically regarding mandatory reporting.
Recognize that suspected child abuse must be reported immediately to protective services, overriding general privacy concerns.
Nurses are mandated reporters; requiring definitive proof before reporting violates legal obligations and endangers the vulnerable client.
3
Assess the principles of nursing delegation and appropriate communication.
Determine that UAPs cannot be delegated clinical assessments requiring EHR review, and that giving false reassurance to unauthorized callers breaches both therapeutic communication standards and privacy laws.
The 'minimum necessary' rule restricts EHR access, and any acknowledgment of a client's status to an unauthorized person constitutes a HIPAA violation.
