A nurse is reinforcing teaching about confidentiality with a client. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. "Your nurse will provide information about the risks and benefits of surgical procedures.": This statement relates to informed consent and patient education rather than confidentiality. While important for care, it does not address the privacy of the client’s medical information. B. "Only health care staff providing care will see your medical record.": Confidentiality ensures that a client’s personal health information is protected and only accessed by authorized personnel involved in their care. Emphasizing this reassures the client that their information is safeguarded and not shared inappropriately. C. "The provider must grant you access to your personal health information.": Clients have a legal right to access their own medical records without requiring provider permission, according to HIPAA regulations. Denying access misrepresents patient rights. D. "You have to authorize our providers to prescribe treatments for your condition.": Authorization to prescribe treatment is part of consent and care planning, not confidentiality. This statement does not inform the client about how their personal health information is protected or shared.
