A nurse is discussing legal exceptions to client confidentiality with nursing staff. Which of the following statements by a staff member indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. Confidentiality does not end when a client dies; healthcare professionals are still required to protect the privacy of medical records and disclosures. B. This reflects the "duty to warn" principle (Tarasoff ruling), which legally obligates providers to take reasonable steps to protect identifiable individuals if a client poses a threat of harm. This is a recognized exception to confidentiality. C. Healthcare workers must comply with court orders or subpoenas requesting medical information. Refusing is not legally permissible. D. Attorneys do not automatically have access to client information; a legal order is required. Confidentiality is not broken based on an attorney’s request alone.
