    A nurse is reviewing client confidentiality with other staff members. The nurse should identify that which of the following actions is an example of protecting client confidentiality?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Giving change-of-shift report to a nurse outside the client's room ensures that client information is shared in a private, secure setting, reducing the risk of unauthorized individuals overhearing sensitive information. B. While sharing information with staff involved in the client's care is generally acceptable, discussing detailed prognosis with assistive personnel (who may not have a need-to-know role) is inappropriate. Confidential information should only be shared with those directly involved in the patient's care as part of the care team. C. This is a clear violation of confidentiality, as it exposes the client's private health information to anyone who may access the room. D. This is a breach of confidentiality, as the information could be accessed by unauthorized individuals. The appropriate way to dispose of confidential information is to shred it or return it to the medical record.
