Case Study: As healthcare providers, we are ethically bound to respect our client's dignity and to make a positive effort to secure a comfortable and considerate atmosphere for the patient in such ways as providing appropriate gowns, and drapes, private facilities for undressing, and clear expectations for procedures.

Questions: Discuss the following scenario:

A patient on the mental health floor where you work is mentally disabled and becomes very agitated and violent. The patient takes off their clothes and runs naked through the halls. Nurses and other employees are unable to calm the patient and security officers arrive on the unit. Others (patients and employees) in the area stand around watching the naked patient as officers attempt to subdue the patient. As a healthcare practitioner in the immediate vicinity, what--if anything-- might you do to protect the patient's privacy?
