When you are a student in a clinical setting,confidentiality and compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)are part of professional practice.When a student nurse shares patient information with a friend,confidentiality and HIPAA standards have been violated.You can review your patients' medical records only to seek information needed to provide safe and effective patient care.For example,when you are assigned to care for a patient,you need to review the patient's medical record and plan of care.You do not share this information with classmates and you do not access the medical records of other patients on the unit.
