The clinic nurse has just accessed a client's chart on the computer. The resident comes over and asks her to stay logged on because he needs to add a note to that client's chart. She should say:
a. "No problem. Just log me off when you're done."
b. "I'll put the note in for you. What do you want to say?"
c. "Just make sure that you sign your note because it's under my password."
d. "I'm sorry, but you will have to enter the information using your own password."
ANS: D
System users must never share the passwords that allow them access to information in computerized clinical information systems. Each password uniquely identifies a user to the system by name and title, gives approval to carry out certain functions, and provides access to data appropriate to the user. All users must be aware of their responsibilities for the confidentiality and security of the data they gather and for the security of their passwords.
