What constitutes a social media-based breach of patient/client confidentiality and privacy? Referring to your regulatory body for nursing and provincial privacy legislation, what evidence can you apply? Answer the following questions and provide Stephan with some concrete and constructive information about this situation. Case Scenario Stephan is a new RPN graduate working full-time in a busy medical unit at Conestoga General Hospital. He has been an employee at the hospital for two months. Stephan enjoys his nursing career and his medical patients. Stephan is well respected by the nurses on the unit and the other members of the interdisciplinary team on this unit because he demonstrates teamwork and client-centred care. Stephan has created a Facebook account and is eager to share his photos, life experiences, travels, and opinions on social media. Stephan has posted a “selfie” photo with his favourite patient on his Facebook page. This was identified by a member of the hospital and reported to the team leader. You are Stephan’s team leader on this unit, and you need to address Stepan and advise him of the important elements of using Facebook in a responsible, professional manner. Review the professional resources related to social media and the video “Social Media Guidelines for Nurses (2011) found in your course shell https://youtu.be/i9FBEiZRnmo. that discusses guidelines for social media and demonstrates the results of breaching privacy.
