Should the nurse be terminated Assignment 5
You are at work in a healthcare facility. You happen to notice a
nurse practitioner reviewing the medical records of her exhusband. You also know that there is no authorization on file
granting additional access to this record. Should the nurse be
terminated? To whom should this be reported (e.g., the husband,
the state board of nursing, HHS)? What actions must the employer
take? Find the applicable law and cite it. Do any exceptions to the
law apply to this fact pattern? How? What additional facts might
lead to a different conclusion? What would that new conclusion
be? Explain.
