- Patient documents containing PHI should not be photocopied or faxed.
- The Patient's Bill of Rights is distributed to all patients admitted to a hospital in New York State.
- Patients have the right to understand and use their rights, receive treatment without discrimination, and receive care in a clean and safe environment.
- Advance Directives allow patients to make their own choices about future medical care and treatment.
- The ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses outlines the ethical obligations and duties of the nursing profession.
- Infection prevention and asepsis training is required for nursing students, following guidelines from CDC, New York State Departments of Health & Education, Nassau and Suffolk County Department of Health, Joint Commission, and OSHA.
