If a nursing assistant shares information about a resident's care on Twitter, it would be considered:

  1. A breach of confidentiality

  2. Appropriate sharing

  3. Legal documentation

  4. Medical advisement

The correct answer is: A breach of confidentiality

Sharing information about a resident's care on a public platform like Twitter is a clear violation of confidentiality. This is because confidentiality means keeping sensitive information private and not disclosing it to anyone without permission. Option B is incorrect because sharing this type of information without consent is never appropriate. Option C is incorrect because sharing information on social media is not considered a form of legal documentation. Option D is incorrect because sharing this information can not be considered medical advisement, as it is not coming from a qualified and trained medical professional.
