Respuesta :

I think that the answer would be, “ It becomes the provider’s decision about whether the information should be kept private.”.

Answer:

When a patient shares private information with a medical provider It becomes the provider’s responsibility to keep the information private.

Explanation:

In the context of the ethical principles of medicine and under a medical-legal framework, medical secrecy is the responsibility and obligation that a health care provider has to keep secret any information provided to him by his patients.

Medical secrecy or confidentiality implies that under no circumstances may a physician or health care provider share or make public private information about a patient, although there may be exceptions.

Other options do not apply because:

  • It is always the provider's obligation to listen to and analyze the information a patient provides.
  • Information provided by a patient will always be private, especially in the context of medical secrecy.
  • It is not up to the physician to decide when information is private and when it is no longer private.
