A nurse is required by law to report everything a patient tells them to the doctor. A nurse can not tell the family of an adult medical information.

Patent confidentiality cannot be broken or mishandled by office staff or by a doctor or nurse. Clearly information between a nurse, doctor and office billing person must be communicated.

No, a nurse has a legal responsibility to document anything and everything that's seen and performed for a patient.
