Case Scenario : Bob, a registered nurse with 20 years of home health experience, used his personal cell phone to take photos of a resident in the group home where he worked. Prior to taking the photo, Bob asked the resident’s brother if it was okay for him to take the photo. The brother agreed. The resident could not give consent due to her mental and physical condition. That evening, Bob saw a former group home employee at a local bar and showed him the photo. Bob also discussed the resident’s condition with the former coworker. Someone at the bar overheard the discussion and made a complaint to the state licensing board (Mastrian & McGonigle, 2021).
