CHAPTER 5 SUMMARY • Health care professionals have legal and ethical responsibilities that exist to protect the health care team member, employer, and patient. . Understanding privileged communications is important. Health care records are privileged communications and can be used as legal records in a court of law. • Health care providers must know and follow all of the regulations that determine which procedures, processes, and actions they can legally perform. ⚫ Ethical responsibilities are based on right or wrong. Most health care careers have established codes of ethics that provide standards of conduct. Health care providers must respect patients' rights. Health care facilities have written policies concerning these rights. ⚫ Professional standards of care provide guidelines for meeting legal responsibilities, ethics, and patients' rights. All health care providers should know and follow the laws that regulate their respective careers. REVIEW QUESTIONS 1. What is the difference between an implied consent and an expressed consent?

She suffered a major car accident in her junior year that left her with a knee injury, a mangled left ankle, and traumatic amputation of the distal end of her foot. After consulting with her physician and surgeon, Arwa has decided to replace her entire left leg with a prosthetic that would allow her to run without fatigue and navigate anything blocking her running path more smoothly and efficiently. In a small group, predict what would happen if she competes with her team after this mechanical enhancement. Come to a consensus and decide if this is fair. What ideas or technology supports your group's decision? 2. In an essay, define privileged communications and explain how electronic health care records can sometimes complicate keeping the medical record confidential. 14/10/2022 10:14
