Had an interesting point brought up in class earlier today.
Part 1:
Let's say your patient tells you they have AIDS/HIV/HCV but your partner is out of earshot at the moment.
Question #1: What do you do?
A. Say nothing to your partner
B. Ask the patient if they can repeat what they told you
C. Ask the patient if you can repeat what they told you
D. Tell your partner
E. Remind your partner to use "FULL" BSI.
Part 2:
The same patient then tells you that they do not want the information repeated or revealed to anyone else.
Question #2: How do you document what they told you on your incident report?
A. Do not document it at all
B. Do not document it, but annotate on the incident report that the patient has additional medical history they do not wish to be revealed
C. Document it as part of the patient history.
Part 3:
The same patient tells you that they are taking a disease specific drug like AZT, but they don't want anyone to know about it.
Question #3: Do you document the medication?
A. Yes
B. No
Okay, now that you've answered these three simple ( :blink: ) questions, why did you do what you did?
