Breaking confidentiality results in: a. Mistrust between the patient and the health professional b. Conflict with other codes of ethics c. Conflict with the principle of “non-maleficence” d. All of the above
The relation between healthcare providers and the patient is
based on trust and confidentiality. Violating the norms of patient
confidentiality results in mistrust between the patient and the
healthcare professionals.
Breaching the confidentiality and patient privacy also violates the
code of ethics of healthcare professionals.
It can also sometimes cause unwanted trouble and harm to the
patient resulting in violating the principle of non
maleficence.
So as all options are correct, the answer is "d. All of the
above."
