A nurse is reinforcing teaching about confidentiality with a client. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
The nurse should include the statement that only health care staff providing care will see the client's medical record when reinforcing teaching about confidentiality. This statement emphasizes the importance of maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of the client's personal health information. Explanation for the other options: a. "Your nurse will provide information about the risks and benefits of surgical procedures." While it is important for the nurse to provide information about surgical procedures, this statement does not specifically address confidentiality. c. "The provider must grant you access to your personal health information." This statement is related to the client's rights regarding access to their personal health information. While it is important to educate clients about their rights, it is not specifically focused on confidentiality. d. "You have to authorize our providers to prescribe treatments for your condition." This statement is related to obtaining the client's consent for treatment, which is important but not directly addressing confidentiality.
