Confidentiality is the ethical and legal duty to protect a patient's private health information from unauthorized disclosure. Sharing a patient's diagnosis with their employer without the patient's explicit, informed consent is a clear violation of this principle. Breaches of confidentiality undermine trust in the nurse-patient relationship and can have serious consequences for the patient, such as discrimination or job loss. Exceptions exist (e.g., mandated reporting), but sharing with an employer is not typically one.
