Nurse’s responsibility
- Nurses are bound to protect client confidentiality by most nurse practice acts, by ethical principles and standards, and by institutional and agency policies and procedures.
- Disclosure of confidential information exposes the nurse to liability for invasion of the client’s privacy.
- The nurse needs to protect the client from indiscriminate disclosure of health care information that may cause harm.
