A nurse is reviewing client confidentiality with a group of newly licensed nurses. Which of the following situations should the nurse include as an example of a breach in confidentiality?

A. "A nurse discusses a client's postoperative complications during shift report.": This is not a breach of confidentiality if the information is shared within the context of a healthcare team for the purpose of providing care. Confidentiality is maintained as long as the information is shared appropriately. B. "A facility risk manager includes information from a client's medical record in a when report.": This is also not necessarily a breach of confidentiality if the report is used for quality improvement, risk management, or other institutional purposes where confidentiality protocols are followed. C. "A nurse tells the chaplain that a client has a new diagnosis of cancer.": This is a breach of confidentiality. Information should only be shared with others involved in the patient's care or if the patient has given explicit consent. Discussing a client's diagnosis with a chaplain or anyone not directly involved in the care plan is an unauthorized disclosure. D. "A social worker reads a client's chart as a follow-up to a requested consultation.": This is not a breach of confidentiality if the social worker is following established protocols for patient care and is authorized to access the client's medical records for consultation purposes.
