A nurse on a unit is assisting with the care of a group of clients. Which of the following observations by the nurse requires intervention?

Rationale: A. A nursing colleague discussing a client's treatment plan with another nurse on the unit as part of the end-of-shift handoff report: This is an appropriate and necessary exchange of client information for continuity of care. It supports safe, effective handoff communication between nurses involved in the client’s treatment. B. A nursing colleague discussing a client's diagnosis with another staff member on the unit who is not involved in the client's care: This violates the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) by sharing protected health information with someone not directly involved in the client’s care, regardless of location or setting. C. A nursing colleague documenting vitals in the electronic medical record (EMR) of a client that the colleague is caring for: This is an expected and proper part of nursing responsibilities. Accurate and timely documentation in the EMR is essential for effective communication and patient safety. D. A nursing colleague printing material that does not obtain identifiable information from a client's electronic medical record (EMR) for professional use: If no identifiable health information is included, printing such materials for professional reference or education is acceptable and does not violate confidentiality rules.
