Social Media And Privacy Analysis

Maintaining privacy and confidentiality is an extremely important thing for all nurse to ensure that they protect every time they interact with a patient. Nurses have access to a majority of sensitive information about their patients and if they do not take care to safeguard that material it becomes a major error in nurse-patient confidentiality. Especially as technology in the nursing profession begins to change and technology becomes more ingrained in the profession, it becomes harder and more important to take steps to protect patients right to privacy. When a nurse decides to ignore a patient right to confidentiality then they can cause undue stress and embarrassment for the patient. The CNA code of ethics states that a has the obligation to “recognize the importance of privacy and confidentiality and safeguard personal, family

Small patient groups within the wards, along with large community meetings, there feelings are shared and patients' comments taken seriously, and work assignments, recreational activities, are assigned to make the hospital less like a "holding" environment. .

Patient confidentiality is the most important bastion of medicine.” (Careerprofiles.info) You have to protect private information of a patient. It is mandatory in continuing the bond of trust and loyalty between the nurse and the patient and also the family members. Patients’ safety is very important. “Nurses is critical to the surveillance patients’ outcomes. Nurses can upgrade patients’ safety by watching their patient’s closely and also attract the family too.” (Ecpi.edu)

One of the most highly debated issues in the business world is the use of social media profiles as a determining factor in the hiring process. Some people feel that using someone’s social media profile is an invasion of privacy because it uses something from their personal life to determine their professional success. As long as the company follows some basic guidelines I believe there is nothing wrong with them looking into the profiles of their potential employees. It is important to point out that while looking at many of the different ethical ideologies, this practice does not violate the ethical conducts. Teleologists would agree that looking into someones profile will ensure that you are hiring someone who will conduct themselves in a proper manner. Therefore, the means of looking into their personal lives justifies the ends in which you hire a professional with good character. Deontologists would likely agree that as long as the company does not try to find loop holes to see into protected accounts that they are respecting the rights of the individual and therefore are not being unethical. I believe that it is reasonable for a company to use social media profiles as a basis for hiring because everything posted on the internet is public domain, it allows them to get an understanding of who the potential client is, and you want to ensure that you are hiring someone who fits in to your company.

Doctors, which were used to represent humanity, have problems respecting their patients privacy. As previously argued in Privacy in the Medical Field, “Staff of the hospital typically discuss all their patients among each other, sharing secrets and dry inside jokes, while their patients are completely oblivious to all of this” (Peak 1). Because I used doctors to represent humanity, I expressed my stance on believing that humanity is inhumane because we invade each other's privacy. This can be counter-argued, saying that invasion of privacy can be humane. Invading one’s privacy in certain situations can be understandable as expressed in my first essay, “Doctors do not have it easy and finding something that will make them forget about all the lives lost may help them relieve themselves for a bit.

There is an obvious safety benefit to this in that if a patient gets agitated if staff is a safe distance the staff will likely be safe from harm, but there is also a more profound effect. A seminal study for social psychology, discussed personal space and what they called “buffering zones” (Hall, 1966). The idea is that people have levels of closeness. Usually there are around four levels and the average distance has been measured, intimate distance, around six inches, personal distance one and a half to two and a half feet, social distance four to seven feet and public distance about twelve to twenty five feet. When people have their zones invaded by people who they feel don’t belong in that zone, they either move away or it may bother them. Thus, my point becomes clearer. Patients often do not have a place to run to in the psychiatric setting, thus an invasion of their personal space may agitate them. Therefore, it is important to keep personal space in mind when working with agitated patients and trying to prevent a restraint.

I agree with you Cira, although I would add that the Labor Laws, the Code of Ethics and Medical Deontology and the Deontological Code of Nursing. All these regulations currently in force regulate and protect confidentiality. It is respect for privacy, the right to the elements that constitute it is not a public object of general information, recognized in all constitutions and legal frameworks. It responds to the general objective of improving the quality of people who request our care and assistance. The right to the intimacy of the sick generates in professionals the duty of confidentiality the obligation not to tell anyone what they know of their patients, except to the other professionals involved in their attendance.

There are many reasons that healthcare professionals should ensure the privacy of their patients. Not only does HIPPA require (De Bord, Burke, & Dudzinski, 2014) confidentiality, healthcare professionals are bound by codes of ethics as well as state and federal agencies (Fordney, 2014, p. 23). The healthcare industry is highly regulated and ever one in the healthcare industry are held to the highest levels of scrutiny (Fordney, 2014, p. 23). We, as healthcare professionals, must know all Federal, State, and Local laws pertaining to a patient’s health information. In my opinion, one of the basic rules we should follow is learning what is ethical and moral. This only makes common sense to me that we should keep our opinions to ourselves, not gossip about other’s, and keep private individuals' personal information. We should respect all individual’s privacy and maintain complete confidentiality.

patients family think twice about if they want their privacy to remain sacred or if they should let

The area that absolutely does not escape attention is the med line. A row of chairs line the wall diagonal from the window to the med room. Each evening, clients sit in the chairs at the specified time and wait. It is consistently and predictably stress provoking. They wait, side by side, for their turn to receive their medications. By this time of day emotions have escalated and patience has been spent for some, such as a man recently observed on the floor. Each minute that passed was like the rotation of a wind up arm for a Jack in the box. As he moved from one seat to the next one closer to the window his expressions and mutterings grew angrier. Tighter and tighter he was wound, just waiting to pop. Once he finally reached the window, he berated the nurse for her slowness and incompetence. The interaction was not therapeutic and no one’s self-esteem was enhanced in that moment. His escalation was visible for anyone who chose to look but it seemed as though no one noticed or saw it as a potential issue. It was simply another display of an all too common episode, when it becomes clear that a person “belongs” here.

Social Media is a current way in which people are using to interact with one another daily. Since the launch of various Social Networking Sites (SNS) its been a huge attraction in a new way to share information with others and correspond with interests of your choice in many different forms. Although social media sites allow users to share information with friends and other sites on the internet, many people are unaware of how their privacy is getting out. Now that the expansion of global connection through these social media networking sites are so highly present in todays society, giving us easy access to information, the lack of one's privacy is being diminished. Everyday peoples privacy rights are

When interacting with patients, I will engage with them and get to know each and every one as an individual. Often times, healthcare providers are taught to be objective and unemotional when dealing with patients, which will cause patients to feel like they are not prioritized. When I get the chance to interact and talk with them, I want to find out their personalities, their fears, and their stories to establish a connection with them so that they will not feel so alone and scared. I also believe that getting closer with patients will allow me to better understand the needs of different patients and the best ways

Applying for a job in todays time is an extremely important step in the process of becoming an adult. Long ago, first impressions were the only procedure to guarantee yourself a possible job. In the past 10 years; however, social media use has exponentially increased in popularity. It now opens doors to criticism, hacking, and possible speculation by future businesses looking to hire. Have you thought of questioning that Facebook picture you posted of you in your bikini drinking a beer, or that video on Instagram of you going 140 mph on the interstate with your brand new sports car? It's very important to watch the content you post on social media. Once the information is our there, it is permanent.

My first definition is for medium; which is the vehicle of communication or the means in which communication is enacted. Medium is relevant in society, the workplace, school, politics, and the world today, because choosing the correct medium is imperative for the success of communication. We are currently witnessing the importance of medium with the avenue of social media. Social media has become the vehicle for communication for many people, and the trend is increasing.

In today’s clinical, I was on the smaller less intensive unit. A lot the patients on this unit was more aware of the different situations. I found that talking to these patients was a little bit easier than I first thought it would be. I was really concerned on what I could talk to the patients about and what were appropriate questions to ask and what was not appropriate to ask to them. My biggest fear, was asking a question that may of offend them in way that might make them latch out at me. I also found that the clinical unit was a little depressing and did kind of remind me of jail. I thought that the idea of them not being allowed to have food in their room or shutting their room doors was like taking away some of their basic human rights.
