NURS 3100 Legal and Ethical Considerations DQ
NURS 3100 Legal and Ethical Considerations DQ
Considering
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), the idea of
discussing confidential information with a patient in front of an audience is
probably quite foreign to you. However, in group and family therapy, this is
precisely what the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner does. In your
role, learning how to provide this type of therapy within the limits of
confidentiality is essential. For this Discussion, consider how limited
confidentiality and other legal and ethical considerations might impact
therapeutic approaches for clients in group and family therapy.
