Section III
Literature review:
Confidentiality is commonly applied to conversations between doctors
and patients. Legal protections prevent physicians from revealing
certain discussions with patients, even under oath in court .The rule
only applies to secrets shared between physician and patient during
the course of providing medical care.
Medical record Confidentiality requirements and the general
legal principles governing assess to patient healthcare information.
Healthcare organization and providers must be aware of the various
federal and state laws governing the Confidentiality of medical record
information.

Case No. 1
A 17 year- old male under chemotherapy. He's lost his hair and
became very lean.
He doesn't want to see his friends and relatives because he lost his
self-confidence.
A: Yes.
B: No.
Case No. 2
C: Tell his wife he is HIV positive without discussing this with the
patient first.

Discussion
Q1: if the answer is A or C the physician not keep the confidentiality
in correct way because there are no interest about patient care and
prevent from the disease. So, when the physician not tells his wife the
disease transfer to this healthy wife. But the answer from physicians
is B so, it is mean the physician interest of the patient privacy, respect
his want and prevent of disease
