A nurse should be able to read at least the basic information provided in an EKG. Ethically, if the nurse is directly involved in the patient's healthcare, then the nurse is entitled to read the EKG. If, however, the nurse is NOT invovled in the patient's care, any access of protected health information is unethical and is possibly illegal.
It is not only unethical. It is illegal.
ethical and unethical behaviorethical and unethical behavior There is now the "Code of Ethics" and it has a set of rules that nurses take an oath to. You are to treat the patients you care for with dignity and there to tend to their needs. Unethical behavior is ignoring your patients, slapping, being rough in any way, shape or form or, in some cases taking the life of a patient because the nurse feels the person is too far gone to live. This thankfully doesn't occur all that often, but it has happened (doctors included.) pretty much the answer is very simple its the difference between knowing the right thing to do and not
Ethics is always present in a hospital. Some things you may consider unethical is a DNR, in which if the patient goes into cardiac arrest or a condition like that, doctors cannot under any circumstances revive the patient, and must allow them to die. Another, is that if a patient is infected with the blood of another patient (for whatever reason) who, say, has HIV. The patient, or even nurse or doctor, must not be aware they have been infected. This is technically leaking patient information out, and is forbidden/ illegal. Ethics is a wide spectrum, and these are just a few examples of possibly unethical behavior that is "legal."

Congruity means the quality of agreeing; or being suitable and appropriate. I'm guessing it either means the nurse is agreeing with the patient or the nurses conversation with the patient was suitable and appropriate for a patient/nurse conversation.
The FIRST thing before a nurse gives a patient ANY thing is: Identify the patient! NOTE: There are specific checks a nurse MUST do. ID the patient is just ONE check.
if you mean a patient this would be highly unethical
