A nursing instructor is describing the impact of technology and electronic health records on psychiatric-mental health care. What would the instructor identify as a major challenge associated with technology?

The correct answer is A: Maintaining confidentiality. Technology in psychiatric-mental health care raises concerns about protecting sensitive patient information due to cyber threats and unauthorized access. Confidentiality breaches can lead to serious consequences, such as privacy violations and compromised patient trust. Other choices are incorrect because: B) Decreasing fragmented care - Technology can actually improve care coordination and reduce fragmentation. C) Establishing educational models - While important, this is not a major challenge specific to technology. D) Defining professional standards more clearly - Important but not directly related to the challenge of maintaining confidentiality in technology.
