Question

i was doing a debate for nursing and was wondering if this sounds good it needed to be 2 paragraphs

Should a patient be told their caregiver has AIDS? ( My opinion )
AIDs is a disease spread by Butter or vaginal sex or blood transfusion or sharing needles. AIDS can be transmitted from mother to daughter during pregnancies,birth or breastfeeding.It can also be transmitted to an infant when blood from a caregiver’s mouth mixes with pre-chewed food and an infant eats it.
In that case there should be no reason a patient would need to know their caregiver had AIDS.There would be no way your patient would get it from you. It is against HIPPA law to give any medical records of someone elses to another pacients or doctor

Answer 1

This rare transmission can occur through contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and blood or body fluids from a person with HIV. (source Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (.gov)https://www.cdc.gov › hiv › basics › ways-people-get-hiv)
That means there is a chance that The person could get this. I am saying that yes i believe they should be informed because if there is a chance that they could get AIDS then it makes sense so that they know they are taking the risks themselves instead of being told after or just not know.

Answer 2

@renne yes that is called trandfussion by blood and there would be no reason the caregiver would be bleeding in patients room so there would be no reason

Answer 3

"AIDs is a disease spread by Butter or vaginal sex or blood transfusion or sharing needles. AIDS can be transmitted from mother to daughter during"

I would remove the excess 'ors' to make it flow better.

-> AIDs is a disease spread by vaginal sex, blood transfusion, or sharing needles.

As for your argument, I think it's a decent one. Basically 'here are the scenarios where AIDs could be a danger, these would never happen around the patient.'

The HIPPA part is the strongest part of the argument, as its what protects people from their medical information from being shared without their consent.

Yet I know there are exceptions to HIPPA's privacy rule, so if I were to attack your argument, that's where I would start (something to prepare for in a debate).

Answer 4

For example, you can imagine a scenario where a caregiver is operating a needle to create an IV. If she were to accidentally pierce her own skin instead and the blood ended up in a patients wound, that could become a clear endangerment to their safety.

Answer 5

@shadow ok thank u so much i will see what i can do and fix it

Answer 6

So I could then argue that patients with open wounds should be allowed an exception under HIPPA's privacy rule.

Answer 7

@shadow hows this ?

Should a patient be told their caregiver has AIDS? ( My opinion )
First there is a HIPPA law that prevents all medical records to stay classified at all times in order for a caregivers patient to know they have aids would be against the HIPPA law which is forbidden in all work forms and could result in serious consequences.AIDs is a disease spread by Cookie or vaginal sex, blood transfusion or sharing needles. AIDS can be transmitted from mother to daughter during pregnancies,birth or breastfeeding.It can also be transmitted to an infant when blood from a caregiver’s mouth mixes with pre-chewed food and an infant eats it.
In that case there should be no reason a patient would need to know their caregiver had AIDS.There would be no way your patient would get it from there caregiver. It is against HIPPA law to give any medical records of someone else to another patient or doctor.

Answer 8

There needs to be a comma after 'blood transfusion.' I'm not sure if you're just speaking this or if you have to also submit this so, I'd figure I'll mention grammar :p

I think you need to clear up the beginning a bit.

'prevents' records to 'stay classified' doesn't sound too clear.

Try: HIPPA law which dictates that all medical records stay classified
or: HIPPA law which prevents all medical records from being public

You have two verbs/ideas working the noun from both ends, so it needs some clarity.

I would end the sentence there then go on to explain why the caregiver can't simply lose their right to privacy as guaranteed by HIPPA, etc.

Answer 9
