A nurse is reviewing client confidentiality with a newly licensed nurse. The nurse should identify which of the following examples as a violation of HIPAA?
Faxing medical information to the client's provider's office
Teaching the client discharge instructions with his partner present
Giving a telephone report to a surgical nurse when sending the client to the surgical suite
Discussing the client's transfer to a long-term care facility with a nurse from another unit
The Correct Answer is D
The nurse should identify that discussing the client's transfer to a long-term care facility with a nurse from another unit is a violation of HIPAA because it is not related to the client's care or treatment. The nurse should only share information with health care team members who are directly involved in the client's care or have a legitimate need to know.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A total laryngectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the entire larynx (voice box) and separates the airway from the mouth, nose and esophagus. The client will have a permanent tracheostomy (an opening in the neck) and will not be able to speak normally. An artificial larynx is a device that produces sound by vibrating against the neck or cheek and allows the client to communicate orally. The nurse's priority intervention is to review the use of an artificial larynx with the client before surgery to facilitate postoperative communication and reduce anxiety.
