A nurse is teaching a group of nurses about ways to advocate for clients. Which of the following suggestions should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Consult the social worker to speak with the client about support groups. While a social worker can be a valuable resource, advocacy involves the nurse directly supporting the client rather than referring them to another professional as the primary action. B. Help the client make decisions about their treatment by providing them with your opinions. Advocacy means ensuring the client has accurate, unbiased information to make informed decisions, not influencing them with personal opinions. C. Provide the client with a computer to look up questions they have about their diagnosis. While access to information is important, the nurse should provide evidence-based resources and ensure the client receives accurate, professional guidance. D. Avoid discussing alternative treatments that may have the potential to harm the client. Advocacy includes ensuring the client is aware of safe and effective treatment options while protecting them from misinformation or potentially harmful alternatives.
