Ati lpn fundamentals test ch 789 caole ( 41 Questions)
A patient who is very angry and is leaving the hospital against medical advice (AMA) demands to have the medical record to take, because it is her personal property. An appropriate response would be:
“The information in your medical record is confidential, and you cannot leave this facility with it." While confidentiality is true, this response may seem dismissive and doesn’t address the patient’s right to access their health information.
"Because you are leaving against the medical advice of your primary care provider, you may not have the medical record." Leaving AMA does not negate the patient’s rights to access their medical information.
"You are entitled to the information in your medical record, but the medical record is the property of the hospital. I will see about having a copy made for you." This response respects the patient’s rights and explains that while the original record is hospital property, a copy can be made.
"Certainly. This hospital doesn't need to keep it if you are leaving and will not be returning here." This response is inaccurate as the original medical record must remain with the hospital per legal guidelines.
