Think back to the example of the nurse who told the individual about the HIV status of someone she helped. Was the nurse right or wrong to have done so? What would you have done in the situation? Why?

I think that was right of the Nurse to do so because the person in the accident was exposed to someone whose blood was HIV positive, and so now they might have it too.


I would have consulted with the patient about if it was okay to let the other person know that they could now be infected with HIV and if the HIV positive patient said it was fine I would go back and tell the other patient.


hope that helps :)
