Non-Compliance and Confidentiality Disease

Question: Discuss about the Non-Compliance and ConfidentialityforDisease. Answer: Introduction Difference Between Refusal of Treatment and non-Compliance Refusal is the act of declining to do something or to accept something, while treatment is the management of a certain disease. According to the Mosbys medical dictionary, refusal of treatment is the total decline of the patient to the treatment after physician has clearly informed of the patients diagnosis, prognosis, risks as well as risk associated with the outcome of no intervention (Evans, 2012). Noncompliance is the refusal or the failure by a certain party to comply with set guidelines. According to the North American nursing diagnosis association, the term noncompliance in nursing diagnosis is the behavior of a patient or the nurse which fails to coincide with the health promoting or a therapeutic plan that is agreed upon by the patient and the health professional who is offering the treatment (Taddio, 2012). According to my opinion, refusal of treatment and noncompliance are completely different terms in nursing. Refusal to treatment is the total decline of treatment by the patient which is after they are informed of the risks by the medical profession. On the other hand noncompliance is just the failure in the part of the patient to follow the guidelines such as fails to take drugs as directed daily by the physician. The patient fails to take one day because they are not fully informed or has some psychiatrist problems. Appropriate Course of Action for Each In the case of refusal to treatment, the medical PR actioner should advice the patient to seek medical attention in another medical Centre since the patient has been fully advised and the PR actioner has evaluated for cases of mental problems and the patient has tested mentally okay. In the case of noncompliance the PR actioner should evaluate the insight reasons for the patients noncompliance, then educate the patient thoroughly. Since it may because of the some illiteracy or financial problems, not as compared to refusal that is complete decline. References Evans, N. B. C. M. A. A. E. H. I. H. R. P. R. G. M. a. p. P., 2012.
