The nurse caring for a patient states, "Your blood pressure is dangerously high. Are you taking antihypertensive medicine?" The patient states, "I can't afford my medicine. I have no insurance." The nurse states "I feel really sorry for that patient. I wish it wasn't against policy to give her money." The nurse wants to help and places a note on Facebook that any donations would be appreciated to help a waitress who works at the cafeteria next door to the hospital buy her medications. The nurse posts that "She was so sick last evening when she came to the ED. I can't believe they don't provide insurance. I can't give her money but you all can help." This nurse:
A) is showing empathy and as long as she lets the patient know the money is not from her, she is not violating any social media guidelines.
B) is at risk for HIPAA violations.
C) has properly followed policy and protected the patient by not using her name.
D) is demonstrating the logical fallacy of slippery slope.
