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?

Choice A rationale: Writing a client's diagnosis on the message board in the client's room can expose sensitive information to anyone who enters the room, which compromises client confidentiality. Choice B rationale: Discarding worksheets containing client information in a wastebasket is not secure and can lead to unauthorized access to confidential information. Choice C rationale: Giving change-of-shift report to a nurse outside the client's room protects client confidentiality by ensuring that sensitive information is shared only with authorized personnel in a private setting. Choice D rationale: While sharing relevant information with personnel directly involved in the client's care is generally acceptable, it must still be done in a manner that safeguards confidentiality.
