Case Scenario: You are the director of nursing for a large long-term care facility. The families of several residents at the facility have complained that personal items have been stolen or lost and that their loved ones have unexplained bruising. You are considering implementing an evidence-based practice change to improve patient safety with the use of hidden cameras in resident care areas, including resident rooms. Also, keep in mind the principles of fidelity, informed consent, and the responsibilities that guide the health insurance portability and accountability act (HIPAA).
