Discussion 1: Social Technologies in the Workplace
As a nurse manager, it is imperative to understand how social technologies can impact productivity, peer-to-peer relationships, and patient safety within the workplace. Collaborating with HR to understand policies and the organization’s expectations related to the use of social technologies allows nurse managers to more effectively and appropriately integrate today’s social platforms while mitigating the occurrence of inappropriate behaviors.
For this week’s Discussion, your Instructor will assign you to one of the scenarios below. You will then use that scenario to investigate the social, ethical, and legal ramifications of social technologies.
Scenario One: You have recently been promoted to charge nurse for the day shift in your department. As a result of this promotion, your former peers are now reporting directly to you. You have been working in your setting for five years and consider many of these peers to be your friends. The way that one of your friends posts on social media sites has always bothered you. Many times, her comments are inappropriate, discussing her negative feelings about “ignorant superiors” and “annoying patients.” You also know that she frequently accesses these sites for extended periods of time while patients are waiting to be helped. Now that she reports directly to you, how do you address this? If your workplace does not have a formal policy on social media use, how can you adapt her behaviors to align with the expectations of nursing professionalism?
Scenario Two: It has been a little over a year since you accepted your nurse management position at a local pediatrics office. Since then, you have observed that many nurses seem uneasy when they work with one of your top physicians. You wonder why so many nurses are hesitant to work with such an experienced physician, particularly since most of your families rave about her dedication and caring nature toward their children. One day, while taking careful observation of your staff, you watch a nurse take out a patient chart and begin to text. The nurse becomes visibly upset as she sees you approach. When you question her about her behavior, she confides that the physician asks all nurses to text patient test results to her. The nurse admits that she feels uncomfortable sending private information via text message and only did so after multiple requests and increasing pressure from the physician. According to ethical and legal guidelines, who is at fault for this error in judgment? Since the nurse is the employee who sent the information, should action be taken against her, against the physician, or against both parties?
Scenario Three: A physician in your setting is an avid user of social media. On many of his personal pages, which include blogs about his various outdoor hobbies, he plasters pictures of himself and his friends out drinking. He also tends to post extreme comments about politics and the economy. M.
Social work student beliefs about social media: Implications for education an...husITa
Social workers and other professionals are increasingly using social media in their professional lives as a way to network, serve clients, share information, or find information. Education about technology and social media in social work is often integrated sporadically in to programs, and based on the comfort level or experience of instructors.
This research aims to understand the beliefs and practices of social work students who have completed a social work field placement in an accredited program. Participants responded to survey questions which explore their beliefs about appropriate use of social media in the workplace, as well as the level of training they received in their academic programs and work sites. This study reports on feedback from over 100 students and recent social work graduates. The data offers information about the use of social media in their personal lives and use in field placements, and offer insight in to the widely disperse beliefs of students about whether and when it is appropriate to search for or engage with clients using social media. Data is shared related to student perceptions of agency beliefs around social media use and the need for ongoing education. Two thirds of respondents check their social media sites multiple times each day, and forty percent are on social media during work hours. A third of them search for clients online. Almost half believe that it is acceptable to search for client information on social media for the sake of curiosity. Despite these figures, half of respondents do not know whether their agency permits seeking out or connecting with clients via social media. Qualitative responses indicate the strong polarized feelings of students about appropriate uses of social media. Implications for training and education are discussed.
This slides wer presented at the Medicine 2.0 conference at Stanford University on 09.17.11 and include data that was collected as part of a research collaboration b/w Bob Miller (Hopkins), Bryan Vartabedian (Baylor), Molly Wasko (UAB), and the team at CE Outcomes. This research was funded in part by the Medical Education Group at Pfizer, Inc.

Introduction
As you begin to consider the assessment, it would be an excellent choice to complete the Breach of Protected Health Information (PHI) activity. The will support your success with the assessment by creating the opportunity for you to test your knowledge of potential privacy, security, and confidentiality violations of protected health information. The activity is not graded and counts towards course engagement.
Health professionals today are increasingly accountable for the use of protected health information (PHI). Various government and regulatory agencies promote and support privacy and security through a variety of activities. Examples include:
· Meaningful use of electronic health records (EHR).
· Provision of EHR incentive programs through Medicare and Medicaid.
· Enforcement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules.
· Release of educational resources and tools to help providers and hospitals address privacy, security, and confidentiality risks in their practices.
Technological advances, such as the use of social media platforms and applications for patient progress tracking and communication, have provided more access to health information and improved communication between care providers and patients.
At the same time, advances such as these have resulted in more risk for protecting PHI. Nurses typically receive annual training on protecting patient information in their everyday practice. This training usually emphasizes privacy, security, and confidentiality best practices such as:
· Keeping passwords secure.
· Logging out of public computers.
· Sharing patient information only with those directly providing care or who have been granted permission to receive this information.
Today, one of the major risks associated with privacy and confidentiality of patient identity and data relates to social media. Many nurses and other health care providers place themselves at risk when they use social media or other electronic communication systems inappropriately. For example, a Texas nurse was recently terminated for posting patient vaccination information on Facebook. In another case, a New York nurse was terminated for posting an insensitive emergency department photo on her Instagram account.
Health care providers today must develop their skills in mitigating risks to their patients and themselves related to patient information. At the same time, they need to be able distinguish between effective and ineffective uses of social media in health care.
This assessment will require you to develop a staff update for the interprofessional team to encourage team members to protect the privacy, confidentiality, and security of patient information.

The Idea of Craft Asks the class to try to define the word “craft.” What items do the students associate with the word “craft”? Are these items cheap or expensive? Does it conjure images of utilitarian goods like vases, pots, and rugs or items that are meant to be appreciated as beautiful objects? What is the difference between fine art, decorative arts, crafts, and design? During the Renaissance, craft objects were degraded as mere handiwork, not designed for serious contemplation or for aesthetic value. This distinction did not exist in other parts of the world, such as in Japan where a teacup could be considered a priceless work of art. How did the Industrial Revolution impact attitudes towards crafts and design?
Japanese Tea Ceremony The tea ceremony, a ritual performance in which the audience takes part, is a unique aspect of Japanese culture. The setting, the ceremony, the artwork, and the utensils are all supposed to conform to the principles of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility, and wabi, the principle of quiet simplicity. Discuss images of the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Are these aforementioned aspects present in the ceremony and the design of the tools used? What is the significance of calligraphy in the ceremony? What is the significance of the floral arrangements?

At its core, pathology is the study of disease. Diseases occur for many reasons. But some, such as cystic fibrosis and Parkinson’s Disease, occur because of alterations that prevent cells from functioning normally.
Understanding of signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the disease that is suggested. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts.
To prepare:
By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific scenario for this Discussion. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
By Day 3 of Week 1
Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:
The role genetics plays in the disease.
Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
The cells that are involved in this process.
How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.
I will be adding a discussion that will need a reply after. I will add 2 of them but at a different time depending on when they are availabe.
Julia's discussion
In this scenario, it appears that a 16-year-old boy had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin. While this is unfortunate and was probably unavoidable, the provider could have reduced the risk of a medical emergency by asking a few questions. Genetics is important as familial tendency to develop allergic conditions is thought to have a genetic link. In an article published in

, the authors wrote “The allergic diseases are complex phenotypes for which a strong genetic basis has been firmly established.” (Ortiz & Barnes, 2014). It does not say in the scenario, but family medical history could have identified an increased risk for this child, but the order was most appropriate given the diagnosis of Strep throat and the available history.
According to the required reading this week, the clinical manifestations of an allergic reaction are related to histamine being released into the body McCance, K. & Huether, S., 2019) . Acute allergic reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies and arises rapidly after exposure. Symptoms include hypotension, bronchospasm, angioedema (swelling), and urticaria (itching), all reported reactions in this scenario. Acute allergic reactions result from the immune system identifying a substance, in this case, amoxicillin as dangerous as a result of previous exposure (Bhattacharya, 2010). After exposure, there are antibody receptors for that substance in the body, another .

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Social Media Policies
AH, a large, multi-city school district serving several suburbs:
Social media policies apply to all employees including the 97
nurses on staff.
Employees should observe the following rules for personal use
of Social Media
Consider your role as a school employee before posting any
content that would show “obscene, profane, vulgar, harassing,
threatening, bullying, libelous, or defamatory or that discusses
or encourages any illegal activity, use of illegal drugs,
inappropriate alcohol use, sexual behavior or sexual
2. harassment.” (Anoka Hennepin School District #11, 2015, 5.1)
Image from Microsoft PowerPoint 365
Social Media Policies (Contintued)
Views expressed are the employees and do not reflect the
district
No disclosure of private, proprietary or confidential information
Employees may not use or post graphic/logo without permission
Employees have responsibility to maintain appropriate student-
employee relationships at all times
If an employee chooses to engage with a student group or public
group, they do so as an employee
(Anoka Hennepin School District #11, 2015)

5. Moral Practice Issues of Social Media
Social Media posts that breach confidentiality and Privacy:
violations decrease patient trust
18 different patient identifiers including geographical
subdivisions smaller than the state (UC Berkeley, 2021)
Patient posts violate nonmaleficence code even if never
identified:
Digital information is permanent
Risk of emotional pain or harm always possible
Professional Integrity:
Questionable posts of other nurses
Professional boundaries
Inappropriate posts about patients, employers or profession
(Henderson & Dahnke, 2015)
Image from Microsoft PowerPoint 365
Workplace Social Media Concerns
New employee makes one of many possible social media acts of
misconduct
6. New employees are not given training on the employer’s social
media policies.
The policies have not been updated since 2015
Workplace Social Media Recommendations
Electronic communication and social media use growing at
exponential rate
Ensure nurses understand the appropriate social media use
regarding:
Privacy and confidentiality
Possible consequences including Board of Nursing implications
or employer consequences
7. Understand Common Misunderstandings and Myths
How to circumvent issues (National Council of State Boards of
Nursing, 2011)
Workplace Social Media Recommendation
Current Social Media Policy should be reviewed every year
(Karpman & Drisko, 2016)
Current Social Media Policy should address the following areas:
What is considered social media
Who is authorized to represent employer
What are the legal restrictions, regulations and sensitive
information with special section for nurses addressing HIPAA
What is acceptable content and conduct (do’s and don’ts)
(FirmPlay, 2021)
8. Workplace Social Media Recommendations
AH should add new hire orientation on social media
Documentation of expectations given to new employee to read
Documentation of expectations given to new employee to sign
and return to employer
Existing AH employees should be given on-line orientation on
social media
Documentation of expectations given to new employee to read
Documentation of expectations given to new employee to
download, sign and return to employer
Summary
9. Social media is here to stay
Social media, like any other tool, is directed by the intent of use
Employees must be trained in knowledge and use of social
media to properly utilize it

White Paper: A Nurse’s Guide
to the Use of Social Media
August 2011
Introduction
The use of social media and other electronic communication is
increasing exponentially with growing numbers of social media
outlets, platforms and applications, including blogs, social
networking sites, video sites, and online chat rooms and forums.
Nurses
often use electronic media both personally and professionally.
Instances of inappropriate use of electronic media by nurses
have
been reported to boards of nursing (BONs) and, in some cases,
reported in nursing literature and the media. This document is
intended to provide guidance to nurses using electronic media in
a manner that maintains patient privacy and confidentiality.
Social media can benefit health care in a variety of ways,
including fostering professional connections, promoting timely
communication with patients and family members, and
educating and informing consumers and health care
professionals.
Nurses are increasingly using blogs, forums and social
networking sites to share workplace experiences particularly
events that
have been challenging or emotionally charged. These outlets
provide a venue for the nurse to express his or her feelings, and
reflect or seek support from friends, colleagues, peers or
13. virtually anyone on the Internet. Journaling and reflective
practice have
been identified as effective tools in nursing practice. The
Internet provides an alternative media for nurses to engage in
these
helpful activities. Without a sense of caution, however, these
understandable needs and potential benefits may result in the
nurse
disclosing too much information and violating patient privacy
and confidentiality.
Health care organizations that utilize electronic and social
media typically have policies governing employee use of such
media
in the workplace. Components of such policies often address
personal use of employer computers and equipment, and
personal
computing during work hours. The policies may address types
of websites that may or may not be accessed from employer
computers. Health care organizations also maintain careful
control of websites maintained by or associated with the
organization,
limiting what may be posted to the site and by whom.
The employer’s policies, however, typically do not address the
nurse’s use of social media outside of the workplace. It is in
this
context that the nurse may face potentially serious
consequences for inappropriate use of social media.
Confidentiality and Privacy
To understand the limits of appropriate use of social media, it is
important to have an understanding of confidentiality and
privacy
in the health care context. Confidentiality and privacy are
related, but distinct concepts. Any patient information learned
14. by
the nurse during the course of treatment must be safeguarded by
that nurse. Such information may only be disclosed to other
members of the health care team for health care purposes.
Confidential information should be shared only with the
patient’s
informed consent, when legally required or where failure to
disclose the information could result in significant harm.
Beyond these
very limited exceptions the nurse’s obligation to safeguard such
confidential information is universal.
Privacy relates to the patient’s expectation and right to be
treated with dignity and respect. Effective nurse-patient
relationships
are built on trust. The patient needs to be confident that their
most personal information and their basic dignity will be
protected
by the nurse. Patients will be hesitant to disclose personal
information if they fear it will be disseminated beyond those
who have
a legitimate “need to know.” Any breach of this trust, even
inadvertent, damages the particular nurse-patient relationship
and the
general trustworthiness of the profession of nursing.
Federal law reinforces and further defines privacy through the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
HIPAA
regulations are intended to protect patient privacy by defining
individually identifiable information and establishing how this
information may be used, by whom and under what
circumstances. The definition of individually identifiable
information includes
any information that relates to the past, present or future
physical or mental health of an individual, or provides enough
15. information
that leads someone to believe the information could be used to
identify an individual.
Breaches of patient confidentiality or privacy can be intentional
or inadvertent and can occur in a variety of ways. Nurses may
breach confidentiality or privacy with information he or she
posts via social media. Examples may include comments on

networking sites in which a patient is described with sufficient
detail to be identified, referring to patients in a degrading or
demeaning manner, or posting video or photos of patients.
Additional examples are included at the end of this document.
Possible Consequences
Potential consequences for inappropriate use of social and
electronic media by a nurse are varied. The potential
consequences
will depend, in part, on the particular nature of the nurse’s
conduct.
BON Implications
Instances of inappropriate use of social and electronic media
may be reported to the BON. The laws outlining the basis for
disciplinary action by a BON vary between jurisdictions.
Depending on the laws of a jurisdiction, a BON may investigate
reports
of inappropriate disclosures on social media by a nurse on the
grounds of:
�� Unprofessional conduct;
17. �� Unethical conduct;
�� Moral turpitude;
�� Mismanagement of patient records;
�� Revealing a privileged communication; and
�� Breach of confidentiality.
If the allegations are found to be true, the nurse may face
disciplinary action by the BON, including a reprimand or
sanction,
assessment of a monetary fine, or temporary or permanent loss
of licensure.
A 2010 survey of BONs conducted by NCSBN indicated an
overwhelming majority of responding BONs (33 of the 46
respondents)
reported receiving complaints of nurses who have violated
patient privacy by posting photos or information about patients
on
social networking sites. The majority (26 of the 33) of BONs
reported taking disciplinary actions based on these complaints.
Actions taken by the BONs included censure of the nurse,
issuing a letter of concern, placing conditions on the nurse’s
license or
suspension of the nurse’s license.
Other Consequences
Improper use of social media by nurses may violate state and
federal laws established to protect patient privacy and
confidentiality.
Such violations may result in both civil and criminal penalties,
including fines and possible jail time. A nurse may face

liability. The nurse may be individually sued for defamation,
invasion of privacy or harassment. Particularly flagrant
misconduct on
social media websites may also raise liability under state or
federal regulations focused on preventing patient abuse or
exploitation.
If the nurse’s conduct violates the policies of the employer, the
nurse may face employment consequences, including
termination.
Additionally, the actions of the nurse may damage the
reputation of the health care organization, or subject the
organization to a
law suit or regulatory consequences.
Another concern with the misuse of social media is its effect on
team-based patient care. Online comments by a nurse regarding
co-workers, even if posted from home during nonwork hours,
may constitute as lateral violence. Lateral violence is receiving
greater attention as more is learned about its impact on patient
safety and quality clinical outcomes. Lateral violence includes
disruptive behaviors of intimidation and bullying, which may be
perpetuated in person or via the Internet, sometimes referred
to as “cyber bullying.” Such activity is cause for concern for
current and future employers and regulators because of the
patient-
safety ramifications. The line between speech protected by labor
laws, the First Amendment and the ability of an employer to
impose expectations on employees outside of work is still being
determined. Nonetheless, such comments can be detrimental to
a cohesive health care delivery team and may result in sanctions
against the nurse.
Common Myths and Misunderstandings of Social Media
While instances of intentional or malicious misuse of social
19. media have occurred, in most cases, the inappropriate disclosure
or
posting is unintentional. A number of factors may contribute to
a nurse inadvertently violating patient privacy and
confidentiality
while using social media. These may include:
�� A mistaken belief that the communication or post is private
and accessible only to the intended recipient. The nurse may fail
to recognize that content once posted or sent can be
disseminated to others. In fact, the terms of using a social
media site
may include an extremely broad waiver of rights to limit use of
content.1 The solitary use of the Internet, even while posting
to a social media site, can create an illusion of privacy.
1 One such waiver states, “By posting user content to any part
of the site, you automatically grant the company an irrevocable,
perpetual, nonexclusive transferable, fully paid, worldwide
license to use,
copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate,
excerpt (in whole or in part), distribute such user content for
any purpose.” Privacy Commission of Canada. (2007, November

�� A mistaken belief that content that has been deleted from a
site is no longer accessible.
�� A mistaken belief that it is harmless if private information
about patients is disclosed if the communication is accessed
only
by the intended recipient. This is still a breach of
confidentiality.
�� A mistaken belief that it is acceptable to discuss or refer to
patients if they are not identified by name, but referred to by
a nickname, room number, diagnosis or condition. This too is a
breach of confidentiality and demonstrates disrespect for
patient privacy.
�� Confusion between a patient’s right to disclose personal
information about himself/herself (or a health care
organization’s
right to disclose otherwise protected information with a
patient’s consent) and the need for health care providers to
refrain
from disclosing patient information without a care-related need
for the disclosure.
21. �� The ease of posting and commonplace nature of sharing
information via social media may appear to blur the line
between
one’s personal and professional lives. The quick, easy and
efficient technology enabling use of social media reduces the
amount of time it takes to post content and simultaneously, the
time to consider whether the post is appropriate and the
ramifications of inappropriate content.
How to Avoid Problems
It is important to recognize that instances of inappropriate use
of social media can and do occur, but with awareness and
caution,
nurses can avoid inadvertently disclosing confidential or private
information about patients.
The following guidelines are intended to minimize the risks of
using social media:
�� First and foremost, nurses must recognize that they have an
ethical and legal obligation to maintain patient privacy and
confidentiality at all times.
�� Nurses are strictly prohibited from transmitting by way of
any electronic media any patient-related image. In addition,
nurses
are restricted from transmitting any information that may be
reasonably anticipated to violate patient rights to confidentiality
or privacy, or otherwise degrade or embarrass the patient.
�� Do not share, post or otherwise disseminate any
information, including images, about a patient or information
gained in the
nurse-patient relationship with anyone unless there is a patient
care related need to disclose the information or other legal
22. obligation to do so.
�� Do not identify patients by name or post or publish
information that may lead to the identification of a patient.
Limiting
access to postings through privacy settings is not sufficient to
ensure privacy.
�� Do not refer to patients in a disparaging manner, even if the
patient is not identified.
�� Do not take photos or videos of patients on personal
devices, including cell phones. Follow employer policies for
taking
photographs or video of patients for treatment or other
legitimate purposes using employer-provided devices.
�� Maintain professional boundaries in the use of electronic
media. Like in-person relationships, the nurse has the obligation
to establish, communicate and enforce professional boundaries
with patients in the online environment. Use caution when
having online social contact with patients or former patients.
Online contact with patients or former patients blurs the
distinction between a professional and personal relationship.
The fact that a patient may initiate contact with the nurse does
not permit the nurse to engage in a personal relationship with
the patient.
�� Consult employer policies or an appropriate leader within
the organization for guidance regarding work related postings.
�� Promptly report any identified breach of confidentiality or
privacy.
�� Be aware of and comply with employer policies regarding
use of employer-owned computers, cameras and other electronic
23. devices and use of personal devices in the work place.
�� Do not make disparaging remarks about employers or co-
workers. Do not make threatening, harassing, profane, obscene,
sexually explicit, racially derogatory, homophobic or other
offensive comments.
�� Do not post content or otherwise speak on behalf of the
employer unless authorized to do so and follow all applicable
policies of the employer.

Conclusion
Social and electronic media possess tremendous potential for
strengthening personal relationships and providing valuable
infor-
mation to health care consumers. Nurses need to be aware of the
potential ramifications of disclosing patient-related information
via social media. Nurses should be mindful of employer
policies, relevant state and federal laws, and professional
standards re-
garding patient privacy and confidentiality and its application to
social and electronic media. By being careful and conscientious,
nurses may enjoy the personal and professional benefits of
social and electronic media without violating patient privacy
and
confidentiality.
Illustrative Cases
The following cases, based on events reported to BONs, depict
inappropriate uses of social and electronic media. The outcomes
will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
24. SCENARIO 1
Bob, a licensed practical/vocational (LPN/VN) nurse with 20
years of experience used his personal cell phone to take photos
of a
resident in the group home where he worked. Prior to taking the
photo, Bob asked the resident’s brother if it was okay for him to
take the
photo. The brother agreed. The resident was unable to give
consent due to her mental and physical condition. That evening,
Bob saw
a former employee of the group home at a local bar and showed
him the photo. Bob also discussed the resident’s condition with
the
former coworker. The administrator of the group home learned
of Bob’s actions and terminated his employment. The matter
was also
reported to the BON. Bob told the BON he thought it was
acceptable for him to take the resident’s photo because he had
the consent
of a family member. He also thought it was acceptable for him
to discuss the resident’s condition because the former employee
was
now employed at another facility within the company and had
worked with the resident. The nurse acknowledged he had no
legitimate purpose for taking or showing the photo or discussing
the resident’s condition. The BON imposed disciplinary action
on Bob’s license requiring him to complete continuing
education on patient privacy and confidentiality, ethics and
professional
boundaries.
This case demonstrates the need to obtain valid consent before
taking photographs of patients; the impropriety of using a
personal device to take a patient’s photo; and that confidential
information should not be disclosed to persons no longer
25. involved
in the care of a patient.
SCENARIO 2
Sally, a nurse employed at a large long-term care facility
arrived at work one morning and found a strange email on her
laptop.
She could not tell the source of the email, only that it was sent
during the previous nightshift. Attached to the email was a
photo
of what appeared to be an elderly female wearing a gown with
an exposed backside bending over near her bed. Sally asked the
other dayshift staff about the email/photo and some confirmed
they had received the same photo on their office computers.
Nobody knew anything about the source of the email or the
identity of the woman, although the background appeared to be
a
resident’s room at the facility. In an effort to find out whether
any of the staff knew anything about the email, Sally forwarded
it to
the computers and cell phones of several staff members who
said they had not received it. Some staff discussed the photo
with
an air of concern, but others were laughing about it as they
found it amusing. Somebody on staff started an office betting
pool to
guess the identity of the resident. At least one staff member
posted the photo on her blog.
Although no staff member had bothered to bring it to the
attention of a supervisor, by midday, the director of nursing and
facility
management had become aware of the photo and began an
investigation as they were very concerned about the patient’s
rights.
The local media also became aware of the matter and law
26. enforcement was called to investigate whether any crimes
involving
sexual exploitation had been committed.
While the county prosecutor, after reviewing the police report,
declined to prosecute, the story was heavily covered by local
media
and even made the national news. The facility’s management
placed several staff members on administrative leave while they
looked into violations of facility rules that emphasize patient
rights, dignity and protection. Management reported the matter
to the BON, which opened investigations to determine whether
state or federal regulations against “exploitation of vulnerable
adults” were violated. Although the originator of the photo was
never discovered, nursing staff also faced potential liability for
their willingness to electronically share the photo within and
outside the facility, thus exacerbating the patient privacy
violations,
while at the same time, failing to bring it to management’s
attention in accordance with facility policies and procedures.
The
patient in the photo was ultimately identified and her family
threatened to sue the facility and all the staff involved. The
BON’s
complaint is pending and this matter was referred to the agency
that oversees long-term care agencies.
This scenario shows how important it is for nurses to carefully
consider their actions. The nurses had a duty to immediately
report the incident to their supervisor to protect patient privacy
and maintain professionalism. Instead, the situation escalated to
involving the BON, the county prosecutor and even the national
media. Since the patient was ultimately identified, the family
was
embarrassed and the organization faced possible legal
consequences. The organization was also embarrassed because
27. of the
national media focus.

SCENARIO 3
A 20-year-old junior nursing student, Emily, was excited to be
in her pediatrics rotation. She had always wanted to be a
pediatric
nurse. Emily was caring for Tommy, a three-year-old patient in
a major academic medical center’s pediatric unit. Tommy was
receiving chemotherapy for leukemia. He was a happy little guy
who was doing quite well and Emily enjoyed caring for him.
Emily
knew he would likely be going home soon, so when his mom
went to the cafeteria for a cup of coffee, Emily asked him if he
minded
if she took his picture. Tommy, a little “ham,” consented
28. immediately. Emily took his picture with her cell phone as she
wheeled
him into his room because she wanted to remember his room
number.
When Emily got home that day she excitedly posted Tommy’s
photo on her Facebook page so her fellow nursing students
could
see how lucky she was to be caring for such a cute little patient.
Along with the photo, she commented, “This is my 3-year-old
leukemia patient who is bravely receiving chemotherapy. I
watched the nurse administer his chemotherapy today and it
made me
so proud to be a nurse.” In the photo, Room 324 of the pediatric
unit was easily visible.
Three days later, the dean of the nursing program called Emily
into her office. A nurse from the hospital was browsing
Facebook
and found the photo Emily posted of Tommy. She reported it to
hospital officials who promptly called the nursing program.
While
Emily never intended to breach the patient’s confidentiality, it
didn’t matter. Not only was the patient’s privacy compromised,
but
the hospital faced a HIPAA violation. People were able to
identify Tommy as a “cancer patient,” and the hospital was
identified
as well. The nursing program had a policy about breaching
patient confidentiality and HIPAA violations. Following a
hearing with
the student, school officials and the student’s professor, Emily
was expelled from the program. The nursing program was
barred
from using the pediatric unit for their students, which was very
problematic because clinical sites for acute pediatrics are
29. difficult
to find. The hospital contacted federal officials about the
HIPAA violation and began to institute more strict policies
about use of
cell phones at the hospital.
This scenario highlights several points. First of all, even if the
student had deleted the photo, it is still available. Therefore, it
would
still be discoverable in a court of law. Anything that exists on a
server is there forever and could be resurrected later, even after
deletion. Further, someone can access Facebook, take a screen
shot and post it on a public website.
Secondly, this scenario elucidates confidentiality and privacy
breaches, which not only violate HIPAA and the nurse practice
act
in that state, but also could put the student, hospital and nursing
program at risk for a lawsuit. It is clear in this situation that the
student was well-intended, and yet the post was still
inappropriate. While the patient was not identified by name, he
and the
hospital were still readily identifiable.
SCENARIO 4
A BON received a complaint that a nurse had blogged on a local
newspaper’s online chat room. The complaint noted that the
nurse bragged about taking care of her “little handicapper.”
Because they lived in a small town, the complainant could
identify
the nurse and the patient. The complainant stated that the nurse
was violating “privacy laws” of the child and his family. It was
also discovered that there appeared to be debate between the
complainant and the nurse on the blog over local issues. These
debates and disagreements resulted in the other blogger filing a
complaint about the nurse.
30. A check of the newspaper website confirmed that the nurse
appeared to write affectionately about the handicapped child for
whom she provided care. In addition to making notes about her
“little handicapper,” there were comments about a wheelchair
and the child’s age. The comments were not meant to be
offensive, but did provide personal information about the
patient. There
was no specific identifying information found on the blog about
the patient, but if you knew the nurse, the patient or the
patient’s
family, it would be possible to identify who was being
discussed.
The board investigator contacted the nurse about the issue. The
nurse admitted she is a frequent blogger on the local newspaper
site; she explained that she does not have a television and
blogging is what she does for entertainment. The investigator
discussed
that as a nurse, she must be careful not to provide any
information about her home care patients in a public forum.
The BON could have taken disciplinary action for the nurse
failing to maintain the confidentiality of patient information.
The
BON decided a warning was sufficient and sent the nurse a
letter advising her that further evidence of the release of
personal
information about patients will result in disciplinary action.
This scenario illustrates that nurses need to be careful not to
mention work issues in their private use of websites, including
posting on blogs, discussion boards, etc. The site used by the
nurse was not specifically associated with her like a personal
blog
is; nonetheless the nurse posted sufficient information to
31. identify herself and the patient.

SCENARIO 5
Nursing students at a local college had organized a group on
Facebook that allowed the student nurses’ association to post
announcements and where students could frequently blog,
sharing day-to-day study tips and arranging study groups. A
student-
related clinical error occurred in a local facility and the student
was dismissed from clinical for the day pending an evaluation
of
the error. That evening, the students blogged about the error,
perceived fairness and unfairness of the discipline, and
projected
the student’s future. The clinical error was described, and since
the college only utilized two facilities for clinical experiences,
32. it
was easy to discern where the error took place. The page and
blog could be accessed by friends of the students, as well as the
general public.
The students in this scenario could face possible expulsion and
discipline. These blogs can be accessed by the public and the
patient could be identified because this is a small community. It
is a myth that it can only be accessed by that small group, and
as
in Scenario 3, once posted, the information is available forever.
Additionally, information can be quickly spread to a wide
audience,
so someone could have taken a screen shot of the situation and
posted it on a public site. This is a violation of
employee/university
policies.
SCENARIO 6
Chris Smith, the brother of nursing home resident Edward
Smith, submitted a complaint to the BON. Chris was at a party
when
his friend, John, picked up his wife’s phone to read her a text
message. The message noted that she was to “get a drug screen
for resident Edward Smith.” The people at the party who heard
the orders were immediately aware that Edward Smith was the
quadriplegic brother of Chris. Chris did not want to get the
nurse in trouble, but was angered that personal information
about his
brother’s medical information was released in front of others.
The BON opened an investigation and learned that the physician
had been texting orders to the personal phone number of
nurses at the nursing home. This saved time because the nurses
would get the orders directly and the physician would not have
to dictate orders by phone. The use of cell phones also provided
33. the ability for nurses to get orders while they worked with other
residents. The practice was widely known within the facility,
but was not the approved method of communicating orders.
The BON learned that on the night of the party, the nurse had
left the facility early. A couple hours prior to leaving her shift
she had
called the physician for new orders for Edward Smith. She
passed this information onto the nurse who relieved her. She
explained
that the physician must not have gotten a text from her co-
worker before he texted her the orders.
The BON contacted the nursing home and spoke to the director
of nursing. The BON indicated that if the physician wanted to
use
cell phones to text orders, he or the facility would need to
provide a dedicated cell phone to staff. The cell phone could
remain in
a secured, private area at the nursing home or with the nurse
during her shift.
The BON issued a warning to the nurse. In addition, the case
information was passed along to the health board and medical
board
to follow up with the facility and physician.
This scenario illustrates the need for nurses to question
practices that may result in violations of confidentiality and
privacy. Nurse
managers should be aware of these situations and take steps to
minimize such risks.
SCENARIO 7
Jamie has been a nurse for 12 years, working in hospice for the
last six years. One of Jamie’s current patients, Maria,
34. maintained
a hospital-sponsored communication page to keep friends and
family updated on her battle with cancer. Jamie periodically
read
Maria’s postings, but had never left any online comments. One
day, Maria posted about her depression and difficulty finding an
effective combination of medications to relieve her pain without
unbearable side effects. Jamie knew Maria had been struggling
and wanted to provide support, so she wrote a comment in
response to the post, stating, “I know the last week has been
difficult.
Hopefully the new happy pill will help, along with the increased
dose of morphine. I will see you on Wednesday.” The site
automatically listed the user’s name with each comment. The
next day, Jamie was shopping at the local grocery store when a
friend stopped her and said, “I didn’t know you were taking
care of Maria. I saw your message to her on the communication
page.
I can tell you really care about her and I am glad she has you.
She’s an old family friend, you know. We’ve been praying for
her but
it doesn’t look like a miracle is going to happen. How long do
you think she has left?” Jamie was instantly horrified to realize
her
expression of concern on the webpage had been an inappropriate
disclosure. She thanked her friend for being concerned, but
said she couldn’t discuss Maria’s condition. She immediately
went home and attempted to remove her comments, but that
wasn’t
possible. Further, others could have copied and pasted the
comments elsewhere.
At her next visit with Maria, Jamie explained what had
happened and apologized for her actions. Maria accepted the
apology, but
asked Jamie not to post any further comments. Jamie self-
35. reported to the BON and is awaiting the BON’s decision.

This scenario emphasizes the importance for nurses to carefully
consider the implications of posting any information about
patients
on any type of website. While this website was hospital
sponsored, it was available to friends and family. In some
contexts it is
appropriate for a nurse to communicate empathy and support for
patients, but they should be cautious not to disclose private
information, such as types of medications the patient is taking.

– FACT SHEET –
The number of individuals using social networking sites such as
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube is
growing at an astounding rate. Facebook reports that over 10%
of the world’s population has a Facebook
presence while Twitter manages more than 140 million Tweets
daily. Nurses are making connections using
social media. Recently, the College of Nurses of Ontario
reported that 60% of Ontario’s nurses engage in social
networking (Anderson & Puckrin, 2011).
Social networks are defined as “web-based services that allow
individuals to 1) construct a public or semi-public
profile within a bounded system, 2) articulate a list of other
users with whom they share a connection, and 3) view
and traverse their lists of connections and those made by others
within the system” (Boyd and Ellison, 2007).
40. These online networks offer opportunities for rapid knowledge
exchange and dissemination among many people,
although this exchange does not come without risk. Nurses and
nursing students have an obligation to under-
stand the nature, benefits, and consequences of participating in
social networking of all types. Online content
and behavior has the potential to either enhance or undermine
not only the individual nurse’s career, but also the
nursing profession.
Benefits
• Networking and nurturing relationships
• Exchange of knowledge and forum for collegial interchange
• Dissemination and discussion of nursing and health related
education, research, best practices
• Educating the public on nursing and health related matters
Risks
• Information can take on a life of its own where inaccuracies
become “fact”
• Patient privacy can be breached
• The public’s trust of nurses can be compromised
• Individual nursing careers can be undermined
ANA’s Principles for Social Networking
1. Nurses must not transmit or place online individually
identifiable patient information.
2. Nurses must observe ethically prescribed professional
patient — nurse boundaries.
3. Nurses should understand that patients, colleagues,
institutions, and employers may view postings.
4. Nurses should take advantage of privacy settings and seek to
separate personal
41. and professional information online.
5. Nurses should bring content that could harm a patient’s
privacy, rights, or welfare
to the attention of appropriate authorities.
6. Nurses should participate in developing institutional policies
governing online
conduct.
