A patient’s right to confidentiality is protected under ethical codes and law. A breach of confidentiality occurs when a nurse:

  • Discusses the patient's condition with the consulting surgeon.
  • Shares details about her interesting patient case on her personal social media page.
  • Gives a report to the oncoming shift nurse.
  • Documents the patient's diagnosis in the official medical record.
