Your colleague is curious about the diagnosis of one of your patients. she thinks it might be useful for an assignment she is completing on one of her continuing education courses. she questions you about the treatment plan. are you allowed to share this information with her? a. yes b. no

B. No

Explanation:

The information provided to the physician and kept in the medical record is confidential and is the sole and exclusive property of the patient. That is, all information about the diseases, treatments and type of therapy that the patient received is confidential and should not be disclosed by anyone. Medical staff can talk about treatments, but no one relates them to a specific client because it would hurt the terms of confidentiality.

i think life is life. many could argue that life is ‘nice’ or ‘fun’ but in the end, it is immaterial and will end. nihilism is my philosophy. nothing matters in the end so why make an effort?
