Digital Skill: Social Media and Nursing Care
After posting it publicly on social media, the nursing student received several likes and comments.
1. The issue:
What is inappropriate about the nursing student's social media post?
Which ethical and legal principles were violated?
2. Professional nursing standards:
Did the student violate HIPAA?
Did the student violate the ANA Code of Ethics? If so, how?
What are the possible consequences that may occur?
3. Critical thinking
What steps may the nursing school do after discovering the social media post?
What steps may the clinical facility do after discovering the social medica post?
What steps should the nursing student perform?
4. Action:
What are some ways you can educate your peers on maintaining professionalism in the clinical setting, as well as using social media?
