How should health care student training most efficiently be handled by an institution?

1. Each nursing student receives the same amount of training as the staff nurse on the unit.
2. Practical or vocational nursing students are placed in the user class with LPNs or LVNs to access information and document client care.
3. Students must be trained to provide appropriate clinical information to an assigned staff nurse, who will document client care in the system.
4. Students assess and document client care and medication administration by giving their information to the clinical instructor to input into the system.

Question 2

Juanita was brought to the hospital by her daughter-in-law, Alejandra, who lives within a few miles of her in a remote area of the state.

Juanita will be kept in a semi-private room for overnight observation and Alejandra plans to stay at Juanita's bedside for a couple of hours so she can find out what is going on before she leaves to check into a motel for the night. Juanita's nurse checks in on her patient and asks Alejandra what her relationship is to Juanita. Upon learning this information, what is the best response by the nurse? 1. I'm afraid that, due to HIPPA regulations, we have a hospital policy that we can only share information about the patient with Juanita's extended family such as her husband or children.
2. I'll need you to step out in the hallway so that I can talk to you about Juanita's medical status; it's an issue of confidentiality and we need to protect personal health information.
3. I'll need to check with Juanita to make sure it's okay if I discuss her medical status with you.
4. I'm sorry, but due to HIPPA regulations, we can't have visitors stay at the bedside when the patient is not in a private room.

Rationale: The correct answer is practical or vocational nursing students are placed in the user class with LPNs or LVNs to access information and document client care.. It is most cost-effective to use preexisting user classes for students at a similar end-user level.

Feedback
1 A nurse may discuss individual health status with family members if the individual does not object.
2 This is not an accurate interpretation of the HIPPA guideline regulations; the nurse must obtain Juanita's permission before sharing her information.
3 A hospitalized individual can give permission for information sharing with another family member or whomever the hospitalized person wants to have this information.
4 This is not an accurate interpretation of the HIPPA guideline regulations; these regulations do not stipulate hospital visitation policy.
