Question 1 of 5
A nurse makes a post on a social media page about his peer taking care of a patient with a crime-related gunshot wound in the emergency department. He does not use the name of the patient. The nurse:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the nurse has violated confidentiality laws by sharing information about a patient's condition, even without using the patient's name. Patient confidentiality extends to all identifiable information, not just names. Sharing details about a patient's medical condition on social media breaches their right to privacy and confidentiality. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) strictly prohibits the disclosure of any identifiable patient information without authorization. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the absence of the patient's name does not exempt the nurse from maintaining confidentiality, being the primary nurse is not a determining factor for liability, and social media posts are not exempt from confidentiality laws.
