Allmy?

Scenario: A student took a picture of a patients wound during clinicals, we are unsure if consent was given. The student then showed the pressure wound to the class at a break. Should she be reprimanded for this action or no harm was done? is this a HIPAA or PHI violation? Ethical or legal?

Hello, I am looking for some research material for a topic. I'm currently writing a paper for a BSN class (if you have any material please attach to your response)on ED and MS transfers and was hoping to hear some personal accounts on this topic. I am currently a nurse on a MS floor that is having some problems with ED admissions being transferred to our floor without having doctors orders being done. (e.g. One patient had an order for an NG tube placement while in the ED, 2.5 hours later when he came up to our floor the NG tube still was not placed and the MS nurse had to fill out an SSA (safety alert) on delay in care.) I have lots more examples but this was the most recent. I realize being an ER nurse is a very intense job, but MS floors can sometimes be just as busy.
