Nurse Manager and Risk Management

hello,
i just need some advice or direction with this. We have to role play a situation in our nursing class. its a big presentation with powerpoint and then the situation afterwards.

anyway, the situation is as follows: NM overhears staff nurse talking about a patient(Important person) to another nurse on another floor and doesn't relate to patient care. The NM calls the nurse in and says they will have a meeting tomorrow about it. this is where we take over and play out what would happen. I have no idea how to follow through with this. The procedures and what not. We know about HIPAA. Is there a web site i can go to and see the procedures for something like this or a book i could read at barnes and noble? we have a book, but it doesn't cover stuff like this, just general overview of leadership type stuff. i tried reading about it in our nursing books, no help. I really appreciate any help or direction. its much appreciated! thank you.
