A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse about client privacy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Members of a health care team can share a computer password: Sharing computer passwords compromises security and violates client privacy. Each team member should have their unique login credentials for secure access. B. A client is restricted from accessing his own medical records: Clients typically have rights to access their own medical records. Restricting their access without valid legal reasons violates their privacy rights. C. Information regarding client health can be e-mailed if encrypted: This statement addresses the importance of secure electronic communication. Sending client health information via email should be done using encrypted methods to maintain confidentiality and prevent unauthorized access. D. Unwanted printed health information can be discarded in a trash can: Disposing of health information in an unsecured manner, such as discarding it in a trash can, can lead to breaches of privacy. Proper disposal methods, such as shredding or using secure disposal bins, should be followed to maintain confidentiality.
