You all know the patient's family member that starts to rail against you and declare they are some nurse, from some hospital, from some random department and demands you do things the way they want it done.
I've looked all over and never found a solid answer. I'm curious though, much like if someone identifies themselves as a police office, they have to show identification. If a family member identifies themselves as a nurse, is it in your right to look them up on BON or is that a HIPAA violation? Just curious is all.
