Great job on the powerpoint. You make great points regarding the ethical dilemmas between social media and healthcare. I do believe that the implementation of social media can borderline obscure the personal relationships between patient and provider. To address these issues professional organizations such as the American Medical Association (AMA) have published guidelines for the ethical use of social media, by emphasizing the need to maintain patient confidentiality, being cognizant of privacy settings, maintaining appropriate patient-physician boundaries, providing accurate and truthful information, acting with collegiality, avoiding anonymity, declaring conflicts of interest, and maintaining separate personal and professional profiles (Shore, Halsey & Shah, 2011).

Hi Nisha, Really great job on the PowerPoint! You state that online resources affect the decision made by healthcare consumers not just for themselves but for their family members as well. Carol, Bruno, & vonTchudi (2016) write, learners of all levels check the Internet for facts related to health concerns. Although these platforms can supplement and enhance learning it is important that consumers realize it cannot replace the fundamental education and experience healthcare professionals provide. It is important for the INS to encourage consumers to utilize resources but also to participate in discussions with their healthcare professional on information obtained from social media.
