Questions: A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about using a computer to document in a client's health record. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching? "I should share my computer password with the nurse orienting me." "I should remain aware of my surroundings when documenting in the computer." "I can step away from the computer for a short time if I am logged on and no one is around." "I can review the health records of other clients on the unit not assigned to me."

The answer is "I should remain aware of my surroundings when documenting in the computer."

This statement is incorrect. Sharing passwords is a violation of security protocols and can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information. Each user should have a unique password to ensure accountability and security.

This statement is correct. Being aware of one's surroundings helps protect patient privacy and ensures that unauthorized individuals do not view sensitive information. It is a key aspect of maintaining confidentiality in healthcare settings.

This statement is incorrect. Leaving a computer unattended while logged in poses a security risk, as someone could access confidential information. It is important to log out or lock the computer when stepping away.

This statement is incorrect. Accessing health records of clients not assigned to a nurse is a breach of privacy and confidentiality unless there is a specific, authorized reason to do so. Nurses should only access records necessary for their assigned duties.
