Ethics Check Lori, CDM, CFPP, has worked in the same facility in her small town for 30 years. She knows most of the residents before they move in. This week during coffee hour at church, she was approached by John, whose wife, Nancy, had just been admitted to the rehab unit. John was wondering about Nancy’s recent lab work and speech therapy session. Lori used her mobile device to log in to the electronic medical record and show John Nancy’s lab results. The other members sitting at that table also chimed in with questions and personal stories about their cholesterol. 1. What was Lori violating by talking to John about his wife’s medical information? Nancy’s HIPPA rights. 2. What would be an appropriate (legal and ethical) response to John? Write a statement that Lori can respond to John with: Lori should have politely pulled John to the side away from others and tell him that he can come by the facility to discuss anything that he is privileged to know. Also let John know that if she spoke about any matters of Nancy in public that it would be unethical and violating Nancy’s rights
