2. Agenda
 Implementing the least intrusive intervention
 Respecting confidentiality
 Recognizing the client’s multicultural ethical behavior

3. Summary
 Shandra has one semester to complete before
graduating. Shandra is engaged to Andre who
works for St. James Medical Center. They plan to
marry after graduation. Shandra is doing
exceptionally well at her school keeping a 4.00
GPA and hopes to become a HIPAA compliance
specialist after graduation. She broke into personal
files to check if the rumors on Mr. Pioche were
true.

4. Implementing least intrusive
intervention
 Shandra has put no one in harm.
 There is no sign of anyone being in danger.
 Best plan is to just come face to face about the
situation

5. Confidentiality
 Shandra overheard a rumor
 So she went to put not only her job in jeopardy but her
fiancés as well
 She broke confidentiality by breaking into personal
files.

6. Cultural differences
 Does not specify cultural beliefs
 Shandra probably did not stop to think about the
consequences.
 Mr. Pioche maybe came from a culture where they are
taught to not disclose personal information
