    A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about the facility's computerized documentation system. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "You will be given access to the medical records of every client in the facility.": Access to electronic medical records is restricted based on the nurse’s role and need-to-know basis to protect client confidentiality. Nurses only view records of clients under their care. B. "You will be asked to change your password once per year.": Most facilities require more frequent password changes, often every 60–90 days, to maintain system security. Annual changes alone are insufficient for protecting client data. C. "Information Technology will install a firewall to secure client information.": Firewalls and other cybersecurity measures help protect electronic health information from unauthorized access. Including this ensures nurses understand that the system has built-in technical safeguards for privacy and security. D. "Documentation of sensitive material is performed by the charge nurse.": All licensed nurses are responsible for accurate, complete, and timely documentation of client care, including sensitive material. Responsibility is not limited to the charge nurse.
