In this situation, is it okay to say that they have given antibiotics because of a patient with a similar sounding name. Isn't that unnecessarily risking patient confidentiality? They may be able to track it back to a patient on the ward and therefore know that the patient has a bacterial infection/could have been in contact with bacteria, which is confidential. Would it be better just to say that they have given antibiotics incorrectly?

At the end of this specific scenario, would there be anything wrong with mentioning that the patient is free to contact PALS/ make a formal complaint?
