The arrangement for his discharge is going smoothly. During one of Ann von Essen’s visits, however, Mr. Shaw’s mother, a wiry old woman of about 80 years, follows her down the corridor. At the elevator, Mrs. Shaw says, “I wish you’d tell sonny not to drive. It’s those epileptic fits he has, you know. He’s had ‘em since he was a kid. Lordy, I’m scared to death he’s going to kill himself and someone else too.”Ann is at a loss about what to say. She thanks Mrs. Shaw and jumps on the elevator. She goes down the elevator for one flight, gets off, and runs back up the stairs to the nurses’ desk. She logs on to the computer to review Mr. Shaw’s medical record and finds nothing about any type of seizures. Put yourself in the place of Ann von Essen. Do you have confidential information? What should you do? Why?
