I’m stuck on a Nursing question and need an explanation.
Discussion Question
A nurse colleague uses his personal cell phone to take a photo of a patient’s wound and then sends a message with the photo to the primary care provider via a text. Please consider the following in your discussion post:
- What principles of patient confidentiality might be an issue? Consider legal and ethical.
- How might this nurse use a communication device to support safe patient practices?
- What would your organization’s policy on ‘personal communication device use in a patient care setting’ reveal related to this case? (If your organization does not have a written policy, or you are not currently working in an organization, what do you think should be included in such a policy and why?) Must integrate a scholarly article
