Practice Question
A newly-licensed nurse tells another nurse that their password has expired and asks for assistance with inputting data into a client's electronic medical record. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"You won't be able to input any data until you reset your password."
Rationale:
🔐 HIPAA compliance: Each nurse must use their own secure login credentials to access and document in the electronic medical record (EMR).
🔐 Patient safety: Sharing or using another nurse’s password undermines accountability and traceability of medical documentation.
🔐 Professional responsibility: Resetting the password ensures accurate identification of the nurse who entered the data, which protects both the client and the nurse legally.
🔐 Best practice: The newly-licensed nurse should immediately contact IT or follow hospital protocol to reset their password before entering any documentation.
