Rationale for Correct Answers Termination of employment: The nurse was already counseled three months ago regarding HIPAA and workstation security. This new incident is a repeat violation of privacy standards, which is usually grounds for immediate dismissal in most healthcare facilities. Reprimand from the state board of nursing: State boards oversee professional licenses. Posting client information or derogatory comments about patients on social media violates the Nurse Practice Act and professional boundaries, leading to disciplinary action against their license. Criminal penalties: HIPAA violations (especially those involving the disclosure of Protected Health Information on social media) can lead to federal criminal charges, including fines and potential jail time, depending on the severity and intent. Rationale for Incorrect Choices Deletion of social media account: While the nurse might choose to do this, it is not a formal legal or professional disciplinary action imposed by the employer or the state. Review by the ethics committee: Ethics committees generally consult on clinical dilemmas (like end-of-life care); disciplinary actions for privacy breaches are handled by Human Resources and Legal departments.
