You are in the exam room with a patient when a nurse administered the wrong dosage of antibiotic, which triggered seizures and four days of being in a comatose state. In addition to reactions from the wrong dosage being administered, the patient experienced an adverse reaction due to a blood pressure medication he was taking. Once the patient recovered, he called the office to speak with the physician about what happened. The physician would not take his calls. You are in the office two months later when a HIPAA-compliant authorization requesting the patient's medical records arrives from a lawyer's office. You immediately find the physician to tell her about the records request, and the physician says, "Don't worry about it. Just get the records together and let me review them before you send them out."
The physician approves the patient's records to be sent to the lawyer. At this point, what else should you do with the patient's record?
