Discussion Post
A nurse colleague uses his personal cell phone to take a photo of a patient's wound and then sends a message with the photo to the primary care provider via a text. Consider the following in your discussion post:
a) What principles of patient confidentiality might be an issue? Consider legal and ethical.
b) How might this nurse use a communication device to support safe patient practices?
c) What would your organization's policy on 'personal communication device use in a patient care setting' reveal related to this case? (If your organization does not have a written policy, or you are not currently working in an organization, what do you think should be included in such a policy and why?)
The response must include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
