NURS FPX 6103 Assessment 5 Teaching About Legal and Ethical Issues

The action plans for students’ information security can only be possible with prevention systems, network mapping, access controls, vulnerability scanning, firewalls, patch management, and secure configuration (Upadhyay et al., 2020). Some knowledge gaps are also available in that, most of the time, it fails to protect student records and may disclose student information without written authorization. To eliminate this weakness, the privacy officer should implement an effective complaint tracking process, which may ensure that all the complaints regarding student information are maintained and amendments are to be made for correction.

Conclusion

Access to student and parent educational records is guaranteed and ensured under federal law such as FERPA. Educational institutes will only be able to share the education or confidential information of students with the written permission of students. School officials may also have the accessibility to student educational records because of making an educated decision. The people or companies who violate the laws of FERPA may have to bear severe circumstances in the form of potential criminal charges, and the government’s funding to the organization will also be closed. FERPA should also govern nurse educators, and they should also do some necessary things and not disclose the information of their nursing students. FERPA may allow universities and colleges to share their students’ data only for legitimate educational purposes. Additionally, culturally sensitive issues in FERPA are discussed in the presentation, along with its solution. Lastly, specific action plans are concerned with the continuum improvement of FERPA.
