You are floated to the COVID ICU unit- this is your fourth 12-hour night shift in a row, tired and ready for your day off tomorrow. You take the assignment because the unit is short-staffed, and you know the feeling of not having proper staffing. You are the primary nurse with four patients on ventilators, vasopressors and sedation. Each patient requires an intervention- a new bag of medication, in-line suction, Foley catheter is overrunning and new STAT blood work. The electronic medical record (EMR) on your portable computer has been acting up and has been logging you off and not allowing you to finish your assessments, chart your medications or print your labels. You have all your PPE on and do not want to leave the room because you would rather chart at the bedside. Your facility allows you to use your personal phone to log onto the facility’s intranet to access the EMR. Since you are having trouble with the EMR on the portable computer, you access the EMR through your personal phone to complete your charting. While you are in between charting, you are receiving Facebook, Instagram and text notifications. You begin to look at the notifications and answer the messages while you are in between switching screens and applications on your phone for the next few hours. For some reason, your personal phone begins acting up similar to the portable computer as you chart and check your notifications.Choose one of the following outcomes and complete the scenario: 1. A HIPAA violation occurs, and client data is exposed to the media. 2. A medication error has harmed a client. 3. A technology downtime that impacts patient care occurs, and an error is made. 4. A ransomware attack has occurred, and the organization must contemplate paying the ransom or lose access to patient data..
