What should health care practitioners do when family members or friends ask them for information about others that they have discovered in the course of their employment?

Answer - Well if the Health Care Employes and Practitioners were to be asked about information that is not to be given out for family members or friends. You should explain about the hippa law which essentially has rules and regulation to follow under working condition in the industry of healthcare. Explaining to them will give them a reasoning to not ask any more and give them knowledge that asking you about it will get your fired if given the information.
