Confidentiality Breach Response Actions

Very Hard Management Of Care Confidentiality/information Security

A 45-year-old patient diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is admitted for exacerbation. The nursing staff discusses management plans in a conference room. During the meeting, a nurse accidentally leaves her tablet on the table with the patient's sensitive information displayed. Later, the nurse realizes her mistake and returns to the room. To prevent any breach of patient confidentiality, identify all the appropriate actions the nurse should take after discovering the oversight.

Select all that apply:

Immediately notify the nursing supervisor about the incident.

Remove the tablet and ensure no unauthorized individuals accessed it.

Review the hospital's policy on handling breaches of confidentiality.

Document the incident in the patient's medical record.

Offer a clinical in-service on confidentiality standards to the staff.

Conduct a risk assessment to evaluate potential breaches.
