The nurse is caring for a group of clients in an alcohol rehabilitation facility. A local news station is doing a story on addiction, and a representative comes to the facility, asking to interview a client. A client agrees to appear in the story, and the crew films an interview in the dayroom, showing a glimpse of other clients. Which violation has the nurse committed?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The nurse violated HIPAA by allowing the filming of other clients without their consent, as this discloses protected health information (PHI) without authorization.
