While in the lab, Phil is asked to call the nursing station to inform the nursing staff of an elevated lab result of a patient. Phil is hesitant to do this because he believes it may be a breach of confidentiality. Is Phil correct?

Explanation

Answer: B - Phil is not correct; sharing clinically significant information with members of the healthcare team is not a breach of confidentiality. However, in some states, results of HIV screening are strictly confidential, and no one except the patient and physician is allowed to know the results.
