Why is sharing resident information on social media inappropriate?

It is expensive
It is illegal and breaches confidentiality
It is time-consuming
It spreads useful information

The correct answer is: It is illegal and breaches confidentiality

Sharing resident information on social media is inappropriate primarily because it is illegal and breaches confidentiality. As a healthcare professional, it is critical to uphold the confidentiality and privacy of residents' personal and medical information. Sharing such information on social media platforms can violate the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations, which are in place to protect patients' privacy and sensitive information. This breach of confidentiality can lead to legal consequences and jeopardize the trust between the healthcare provider and the residents.
