A student shares with her husband that she was able to successfully insert her first Foley catheter on a patient during clinical. The student does not share any other information regarding the patient. This action is a violation of HIPAA policy
False. The student sharing that she was able to successfully insert her first Foley catheter on a patient during clinical does not necessarily violate HIPAA policy. However, if the student were to share any identifiable information about the patient, such as their name, medical record number, or any other personally identifiable information, then it would be a violation of HIPAA policy.
True. Sharing patient information, even without explicitly identifying the patient, can be a violation of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) policy. Patient information should be kept confidential and only shared with individuals who have a legitimate need to know.
