on how, why, and when you use social media and help others do the same. KNOW THAT
PERSONAL USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA WHILE WORKING COULD BE VIEWED AS CLIENT
ABANDONMENT.
Employer Policies and SM - correct answer ✔✔Know and follow your employer's policies on
using social media, photography, computers, and all mobile devices.
Integrity on SM - correct answer ✔✔Protect the integrity of both yourself and your profession.
Use proper communication channels to discuss, report, and resolve workplace issues-NOT social
media. Refer to colleagues and clients with the same level of respect as you would face-to-face.
BEFORE you post on social media, reflect on your intentions and all possible consequences.
Understand that "liking" someone's disrespectful comment is not that much different than
posting one.
,Expectations on SM - correct answer ✔✔Use caution if you identify yourself as a nurse online. If
you do so, others may ask for advice, which could lead to a nurse-client relationship. Using a
name that hides your identity does not release you from this expectation.
Boundaries on SM - correct answer ✔✔Maintain professional boundaries. Just as with face-to-
face relationships, you must set and communicate these boundaries with clients online. End
your professional relationships appropriately and DO NOT accept client "friend requests" on
your personal social media accounts.
If you use social media with clients, use a professional account separate from your personal
one.
Privacy on SM - correct answer ✔✔Set and maintain your privacy settings to limit access to your
personal information. Be aware that even if you use the highest privacy settings, others can
copy and share your information without your knowledge or permission.
Confidentiality on SM - correct answer ✔✔Do not share any client information on social media.
LEAVING OUT DETAILS WHEN YOU POST INFORMATION DOES NOT PROTECT PATIENT
CONFIDENTIALITY. Report breaches of confidentiality immediately.
Professional Image on SM - correct answer ✔✔Use the same level of professionalism in your
online interactions as you do face-to-face. Keep your personal and work lives separate. Use
different accounts for personal and professional activities.
Lateral Violence - correct answer ✔✔Another concern arising from social media misuse is its
effect on team-based patient care. Online posts/comments by a nurse regarding coworkers,
even if posted from home during nonwork hours, may constitute lateral violence.
Lateral Violence: Includes disruptive behaviors of intimidation and bullying, which may be
perpetuated in person or via the Internet. Sometimes referred to as "cyber bullying."
, HIPPA - correct answer ✔✔Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. These
regulations are intended to protect patient privacy and confidentiality by defining individually
identifiable information and establishing how this information may be used, by whom, and
under what circumstances.
Confidentiality - correct answer ✔✔The practice (and responsibility) of safeguarding any and all
patient information.
Privacy - correct answer ✔✔The patient's expectation--and right--to be treated with dignity and
respect.
C.) Patient safety - correct answer ✔✔The nurse is concerned about consequences to the
workplace due to coworkers who are chronically late to work.

A.) Delayed procedures
B.) Increased overtime costs
C.) Patient safety
D.) Decreased productivity
