    In the case of Mr. L, he consented to the thorough medical examination. It further states, “Mr. L otherwise is in good health and is alert, oriented, and mentally intact.” (Kapp, M., 2010, p.28). Mr. L has also not executed a durable power of attorney for health care. It seems to me that the doctor has broken the HIPAA privacy rules by consulting with the granddaughter about the diagnosis and treatment options without getting permission from Mr. L. By researching the question of, “Does the HIPAA Privacy Rule permit a doctor to discuss a patient’s health status, treatment, or payment arrangements with the patient’s family and friends?”…

    According to Health Professional Council Authority (2015) conduct pathway “allows the council to manage notifications (complaints) that may constitute unsatisfactory professional conduct or professional misconduct”. Furthermore, according to Staunton and Chiarella (2013) “unsatisfactory professional conduct includes conduct that is substantially below the standard reasonably expected of a registered health care practitioner of an equivalent level of training or experience”. Based on the case study of Conyard [2015], the nurse was not able to recognise and respond to the deteriorating condition of the patient when the vital signs were in the red zone, in addition, the nurse was not able to document all the necessary assessments and plan of care. According to the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (2011), recognising and responding to deteriorating patient includes measurement and documentation of observations, escalation of care, activating rapid response system and communicating with the team about the clinical deterioration. The nurse would have recognised, responded and correctly followed the protocols by communicating with the multidisciplinary team immediately without delay.…

    The steps health care providers need to take in order to ensure patients understand the consent is go over treatment option, outcomes/complication, and likely of success and complications. Health care professionals must comprehend issues and trends; more lives could be saved. Based on individual right to self-determination and autonomy I don’t think that patient consent form adequately informs patient to their medical rights. Self-Determinations and Autonomy give the patients moral and legal right to what will be done to them. Health care professionals must respect individual’s wishes and this must be followed by legislation, ethics standards and overall society value.…
