QUESTION ONE
Describing the ways in which Jamie’s action have breached the Nursing and Midwifery board of
Australia Code of Conduct for nurses
In the present case of Jamie action have breached the Nursing and Midwifery Board of
Australia’s (NMBA) Code of Conduct for nurses (2018). this is particularly because of the
reason that Jamie has posted the picture of wound without asking John and seeking his
permission. Jamie has just asked to take the picture for analysing the healing of the wound so
that it can be recorded within the working. but she has posted it on social media (Stievano and
Tschudin, 2019). the posting was not enough she also wrote the caption which stated like “This
is the grossest thing I have ever seen” #csunursing #sturthospital #WPL, #poornursingcare
#hotpatients”. The standard which is being breached in accordance to NMBA is the 3.2.3 which
deals with the sharing of the information with others only after the consultation with the person
who is receiving the care. This is very necessary for the reason that when the nurse or the
midwife is sharing the personal information with others without the permission of the patient
then it is breach of NMBA.
In the present case of john and Jamie, Jamie has shared the information with the general
public by posting the picture of wound on the social media and that to by adding the caption as
well. also Jamie told to use the picture for keeping as the record for the wound for analysing the
fact that whether the wound has been healed or not. But she uploaded it on Instagram without
seeking the permission of John. Moreover, Jamie has also written some personal things relating
to the patient and with hospital as well (Oguisso and et.al., 2019). this is not at all good because
of the reason that without seeking permission any person cannot use the personal information or
can comment on the person or any other company. This is because of the reason that proper
information and permission must be seek from the related party before commenting on it.
In addition to this there is also a breach of section 3.2.8 as well. This section relates to the
management of the relationship on the basis of the mutual trust and respect and collaboration.
But in the present case Jamie did not worked on the mutual trust as John allowed to keep the
photo as the record for tracking the healing of the wound (Nurse practitioner standards for
practice - Effective from 1 March 2021, 2022). But she did not keep it and posted the photos on
Instagram with the caption relating to personal comment on the hospital and John as well. Jamie
