Be sure to also familiarize yourself with the CNA Code of Ethics…

The code addresses the specific professional obligations of nurses to safeguard individuals’ personal information.

“Nurses recognize the importance of privacy and confidentiality and safeguard personal, family and community information obtained in the context of a professional relationship” (CNA, 2017, p. 14).
