Reflection about Confidentiality and Privacy in Healthcare

As I ponder and reflect on what I had learned in my studies, nurses often required to choose
from among a number of good or the least wrong alternatives to assess and defend the choices
made or actions taken/ especially in the decision-making process. Because nurses are always
faced with ethical issues every day in their work, and dealing with them is very difficult as
sometimes you are weighing the lives of other people. In reality there is some situation where
the nurse faced a dilemma where patient confidentiality is breached in the beneficence of
patient and others.  For example, there was a new patient admitted to the hospital and later you
found out that he was diagnosed with HIV or any other infectious diseases and you told other
staff that he had an infectious disease so as to protect yourselves and others from such
contagion and would definitely prevent other patients from acquiring it. Though confidentiality
has been breached, in this scenario it is still considered acceptable since other health care
providers should be warned, and on the other hand the nurse has been aware as to what extent
of information he/she has been shared.

The subject I expect to ponder is classification inside an expert medical services setting. Privacy
framed a piece of our expert issues talks and it aroused my curiosity because of how distinctively
it is deciphered inside medical services rather than instruction, which is my experience. In an
instructive setting I was instructed over and again that I would never guarantee secrecy among
myself and a youngster. Contrasting that with what I have now realized in medical services, this
appeared to me practically a contrary method of functioning as I was utilized to thus I wish to
ponder this.

I expect to take a gander at why privacy is so significant inside medical services and how it
identifies with the Nursing and Midwifery Council's (NMC) Code. I will take a gander at the…

For this situation, it is imperative that medical services experts use data that is given to them
admirably and with the most extreme consideration.

Seeing data about a medical care client in such terms causes me to understand that some data
isn't really in the public area and hence I have an advantage and obligation to really focus on the
patient as well as for the information about them that I am conscious of. I understand that, in
spite of the fact that I have an obligation to hold secrecy, I might be put in a position where the
certainty needs to likewise incorporate other medical care experts and I need to include the
patient in such a circumstance (in the same place).
