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:
🖥️ Security compliance: Each nurse must use their own credentials to document in the electronic medical record (EMR); sharing logins is a violation of hospital policy and HIPAA regulations.
🖥️ Accountability: Documentation must be traceable to the correct nurse; using another nurse’s login undermines accuracy and legal responsibility.
🖥️ Professional practice: Resetting the password ensures proper identification and maintains the integrity of patient records.
🖥️ Action to take: The nurse should follow hospital protocol, typically contacting IT support or the help desk, to reset the password before proceeding.
