A student nurse was discussing the confidentiality of a patient's medical records. The student's comments demonstrated a clear understanding of the subject until he or she said:
 
  1. The patient has the right to request a copy of her chart.
  2. A patient's chart is considered confidential and may only be accessed by health-care workers providing care to the patient.
  3. The chart does not belong to the patient, but is the property of the hospital or of the physician in a clinic setting.
  4. Under no circumstances should a copy of a patient's chart be given to the patient's insurance company.

Question 2

A nursing instructor explains that a good nurse must make certain that the professional nursepatient relationship boundaries are never crossed. The instructor realizes that additional clarification is needed when a student nurse says:
 
  1. I must be careful to never get emotionally involved with my patients.
  2. I should avoid serving as the patient's advocate.
  3. I should never become physically involved with a patient.
  4. It is unethical to accept gifts or tips from a patient.
