Select the type of assessment which is performed continuously throughout nurse-patient contact:

A. Ethically can look at a friend's chart to see the diagnosis: Accessing a patient’s chart without a legitimate medical reason violates HIPAA and patient confidentiality laws.

B. Shares information from a chart to protect a friend: Confidentiality applies regardless of personal relationships. Unauthorized sharing of patient information is illegal and unethical.

C. Knows that only the Patient’s Bill of Rights advocates confidentiality: Multiple regulations, including HIPAA, protect patient confidentiality, not just the Patient’s Bill of Rights.

D. Reads charts only for professional reasons: Nurses can only access patient records when directly involved in care. Unnecessary access is a breach of confidentiality.

A. It serves as a reminder of human growth and development across the life span: Maslow’s hierarchy focuses on prioritizing needs, not general growth and development.

B. It helps in prioritizing nursing diagnoses and care: Maslow’s hierarchy is used to prioritize patient needs, ensuring physiological needs (oxygen, fluid, nutrition) come first before psychological and self-actualization needs.

C. It outlines the basic psychological needs that people have when they are hospitalized and feel anxiety: Maslow includes psychological needs, but its primary purpose is prioritizing all human needs, including physiological ones.

D. It is a framework for thinking critically: While it aids in clinical decision-making, critical thinking encompasses broader concepts beyond Maslow’s hierarchy.
