A nurse is preparing a client for transfer to a long-term rehabilitation facility following a below-knee amputation of the right leg. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to protect the client's confidentiality?

A. Fax the client's name and identifiable information to the rehabilitation facility: Faxing may be insecure and breach confidentiality. B. Email the client's health information in an unencrypted file: Unencrypted emails are not secure. C. Discuss the client's response to the transfer with another staff nurse: This is unnecessary and may breach confidentiality. D. Provide a verbal report of the client's condition to the paramedic performing the transfer: A direct, verbal report ensures that only essential information is shared securely.
