Emerging Healthcare 7 - You are working the night shift

Emerging Healthcare 7

Directions: Emerging healthcare

You are working the night shift in the Intensive Care Unit. Your patient starts to deteriorate, and the primary provider is not calling you back. The charge nurse offers to contact her. A few minutes later, the charge nurse shows you a text from her personal phone with orders for the client, supposedly from the provider.

What would you do in that situation? Give an example of an ethical dilemma involving confidentiality and the use of technology. How would you respond to the situation? For your replies, provide classmates with an alternative intervention for the ethical dilemma including the rationale for using the intervention.
