What Are Best Practices for Discussing Privacy with Pediatric Patients?
When discussing privacy with pediatric patients, healthcare providers should:
Use Simple Language: Explain privacy concepts in a way that is easy for the child to understand. Encourage Questions: Allow the patient to ask questions and provide thorough answers. Respect Boundaries: Be mindful of the child’s comfort level and respect their boundaries. Educate on Rights: Teach children about their privacy rights and how they can advocate for themselves.
