As the U.S. moves toward the implementation of an interoperable EHR, which statement about the future "ownership" of the patient record is appropriate?
a. The electronic medical record will be the property of the service institution.
b. Provider access to the electronic record would not require consumer consent.
c. Ownership may be driven by who has control and access to the data.
d. Consumers will control and own the record.
ANS: C
Traditional medical records have always been the property of the service institution, but this may not be true in the future. Consumer consent is required for health professionals to retrieve or share patient records to ensure personal information is not accessed inappropriately. Ultimately, ownership may be driven by who has control and access to the data.

The perinatal nurse has assessed Neela, who has a twin pregnancy, and made the following determinations: blood pressure = 136/80; pulse rate = 84; fetal heart rates (FHRs) are between 138–146 bpm and 132–138 bpm; uterine contractions occur every
5–6 minutes, duration = 45 seconds, moderate strength. Neela's birth plan describes her wish to be involved in all decision-making throughout her labor and birth as well as her partner's wish to say a prayer in each infant's ear as soon after birth as possible (he is a Muslim). The perinatal nurse's appropriate actions would include a discussion with Neela and her partner about: A) The need for Neela to have an intravenous infusion administered throughout labor B) The emergent care the infants will require after birth that will not allow the time to pray C) The need for epidural analgesia during labor because of Neela's multiple gestation D) The gestational abilities of the twins at birth, the progress of Neela's labor and the nurse's ability to advocate for prayers if possible
