With questions regarding confidentiality it is very appropriate to? - ANS- Ask a person who is
breaching confidentiality to stop.

With questions regarding confidentiality it is typically appropriate but not ideal to? - ANS-
Distract people's attention to change the subject. Be careful with this, as changing the subject in
some circumstances may be very appropriate, whereas in others it may not. The difference
depends on the context and the extent to which you are drawing attention.

potentially aggressive manner that may be unnecessary. Talking in a calmer manner may be just
as effective.

are returned as soon as possible.
With questions regarding confidentiality it is inappropriate to? - ANS- Ignore the problem, for
whatever reason.

again.

- Dispose of notes yourself.
- Blame someone else.
- Avoid the patient.

problem.
