rule#15
confidentiality is absolute. physician cant divulge information w/o pt's consent to anyone be it police, court or insurance company.

however, physician must break confidentiality
if pt is threat to himself/ others( homicide/ suicide/abuse)
infectious ds( get the pt to work with you to tell the person who is at risk)
STDs(spouse)

End of June....

I dont like those questions on there. They get very picky which is NOT board relevant. I rather spend times on Qbank, Goljan and NMS over and over again.

BTW...there is lots of errors on there....not sure if you noticed

A court can order to break the patient doctor privilages, according to brs....or do I have it wrong?

  #14

a doctor has to appear in the court if he receives summons but cant break confidentiality
