Please type an answer to the following question, and then respond to two of your peers in a meaningful way: You are working as a nurse on a psychiatric floor. Another Registered Nurse you know is admitted to the floor for what you heard another colleague refer to as a “psychotic breakdown.” Do you report this to the Board of Nursing? Would that be a violation of HIPAA? Why or why not? Before you respond, read this: Va. Code § 54.1-2400.7. Practitioners treating other practitioners for certain disorders to make reports; immunity from liability. A. Every practitioner in the Commonwealth who is registered, certified, or licensed by a health regulatory board or who holds a multistate licensure privilege to practice nursing who treats professionally any person registered, certified, or licensed by a health regulatory board or who holds a multistate licensure privilege shall report, unless exempted by subsection C hereof, to the Director of the Department of Health Professions whenever any such health professional is treated for mental disorders, chemical dependency or alcoholism, unless the attending practitioner has determined that there is a reasonable probability that the person being treated is competent to continue in practice or would not constitute danger to himself or to the health and welfare of his patients or the public.
