Articulate the nurse's ethical and legal responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of client information
and records. - The nurse needs to maintain patient privacy because they could have to pay a hefty fine
or go to prison. Not only that but it creates an environment where the patient can not trust healthcare
and an uncertainty in the patient that all of their private information is out in the hands of people they
do not know. The patient may also have significant reasons for not wanting many people to know their
history or that they are even in the hospital. We would want to protect them at all costs.
