Chinese translation:仅供在保密下用于病人

Explanation:
我的理解与上述两位的不同，for confidential patient use only的主干是confidential use，可以改写成for confidential use in patients only，不能理解为for use by confidential patients only.

隐秘患者

Explanation:
这句话的关键是把Confidential Patient翻译到位，似乎国内没有对应的专有名词。国外医院对此的定义见下文，就是说没有探视者也没有电话打扰的这类患者，对隐私保护的要求极高，或者说把隐私当做机密一样。

揣摩了一下，感觉“隐秘患者”较能表达此意。

整句话：XXX仅供隐秘患者使用。

What is a Confidential Patient?
--When you are a patient at UW Hospital, you have several options to choose from regarding letting the public know that you are currently an inpatient. You may choose no visitors (NV), no phone calls (NT), or no visitors, no phone calls (NN). The last option, no visitors and no phone calls, equals choosing to be a confidential patient. This means your presence will not be disclosed to the public.

1 day 6 hrs confidence:

只供病人私人使用而已

Explanation:
for confidential patient use only

The way this phrase is written is ambiguous. For example, consider

1. for (confidential) patient use only
2. for (confidential patient) use only

In example 1, the adjective 'confidential' qualifies patient use.
In example 2, the adjective 'confidential patient' qualifies use.

As to whether which is the case depends on the surrounding circumstances of the translation. The ball is on Dylan's court.
Dylan, what is the background of this sentence? No amount of squabbling is going to help.

Maybe Dylan is not free. Hei, is there a way to edit the comments. I think I need to edit my comments.
