HIPAA 隱私法規明確禁止未經授權洩露病人資訊。觀察到同事違規時，護理師有法律與倫理義務進行通報。正確的做法是透過正式渠道，向單位主管（Nursing Manager）或機構的隱私官（Privacy Officer）反映，以啟動內部調查並防止再次發生。忽略违规會導致機構承擔法律責任，且無法保護病人資訊安全。
When observing a colleague violate HIPAA regulations, the nurse's priority is to report the incident to the nursing manager or privacy officer through formal channels to ensure legal compliance and protect patient confidentiality.
