Which common practice puts the nurse at liability for invasion of patient privacy?

Answer;

-The nurse gives information about the patient to telephone callers who inquire about the patient.

Explanation;

-Medical care requires the invasion of privacy. Patients must expose their innermost thoughts, their bodies, and their sickrooms to strangers. But to protect human dignity, health providers should limit invasions to those necessary to accomplish the goals of their patients.

-Invasion of privacy and confidentiality are of critical legal and medical concern. The right to privacy means that a client has the right to expect that his or her property will be left alone. Healthcare individuals may be charged with trespassing, illegal search and seizure, or releasing private information (even if the information is true).
