Nurses must recognize that they have an ethical and legal obligation to maintain patient privacy and confidentiality at all times. 2. Nurses are strictly prohibited from transmitting by way of any electronic media any patient-related image. In addition, nurses are restricted from transmitting any information that may be reasonably anticipated to violate patient rights to confidentiality or privacy, or otherwise degrade or embarrass the patient. 3. Nurses must not share, post, or otherwise disseminate any information or images about a patient or information gained in the nurse/patient relationship with anyone unless there is a patient care-related need to disclose the information or other legal obligations to do so. 4. Nurses must not identify patients by name, or post or publish information that may lead to the identification of a patient. Limiting access to postings through privacy settings is not sufficient to ensure privacy. 5. Nurses must not refer to patients in a disparaging manner, even if the patient is not identified. 6.
