It is also the responsibility of the company, to make sure their staff is educated and trained in their area of concentration to assist their client.
It is important to develop relationships with clients that will allow them to engage in everyday life activities.

    Nurses are entrusted with very private information from patients and along with this the patient expects and the law requires this to be kept confidential The patient gives this information assuming and trusting that the information will be kept private and only used for medical treatment.

    In the patient confidentiality case of Carlos, a 21 year old Hispanic male is being discharged from his hospital stay for a gunshot wound. Carlos is intended to receive nursing care at home from his sister, Consuela. Carlos is secretly a homosexual and is concerned that his secret will be revealed and be disgraced by his family. Carlos pleaded with his physician not to inform his sister that he is HIV-positive. Not informing Consuela would seem to increase her risk of contracting HIV while attending to Carlos’ wounds. The ethical issue is whether Carlos’ physician is justified in breaching confidentiality on the grounds that he has the “duty to warn” Consuela of the risks at hand.…

    Protecting the confidentiality of a patient with an infectious disease can be complex. On one hand health care professionals are expected to follow the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s (NMC) Code of Conduct 2010 guidelines which stress the importance of protecting patient confidentiality: “you must respect people’s right to confidentiality” (2010, p.3) and making every effort to promote patients as individuals who should be treated with dignity and respect (2010, p.3). Health care professionals may find themselves in turmoil over whether their necessity to protect others from cross-infection overrides the duty of care to their patient by keeping their information confidential; particularly in this case (see Appendix A) where the patient, Sam, has a head injury, knowingly has the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and has told his nurse not to disclose this information with others over his fear of future career prospects.…

    It is extremely important to plan and prepare for IQA activities to ensure that all requirements are met. A quality calendar and regular team meetings with a clear and concise agenda would ensure that any necessary points are addressed in manageable amounts. We are a small team and work closely together but unless we adhere to the above, things can get overlooked or forgotten. As the courses we deliver are ITQ, we have to continuously monitor the learning and the assessments to ensure we are up to date with most recent software packages that our learners may be using; this is something that has been overlooked previously and has now been scheduled into our quality calendar to be updated, ensuring that all past and current software packages are included in our course area. Our Feedback forms need to be improved upon, at present; the questions require a yes or no answer which is not allowing the learners to expand on their response and evaluate fully our service, provision, and their overall learning experience, which can help us to improve and develop on our existing practice, this has been included on our agenda to take to our next team meeting.…

    “Many physicians are concerned about the effects of unveiling too much harmful injurious information to patients (Braddock).” If such exposure is understood with proper sympathy and subtlety, there is insufficient factual indication to hold such a disillusionment. Some physician think that withholding harmful information from a patient could be a resolution to prevent a patient from acting out of one’s place. This I believe is morally wrong and could have a big effect on a physicians practice if publicity finds out there regularly physician withholds information from their patients.…
