    A nurse wants to improve their therapeutic communication by implementing bias-free language. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to provide bias-free language?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Avoid including the client's religious affiliation when discussing treatment options. Religious beliefs can impact medical decisions, so omitting this information could overlook important care considerations. B. Include each piece of collected demographic data during change-of-shift report. Not all demographic data are relevant to patient care, and oversharing may lead to unnecessary biases. C. Record the client’s spirituality as normal in the plan of care. Spirituality is personal and subjective, so labeling it as “normal” is inappropriate and not bias-free. D. Provide relevant demographics during a treatment team meeting. This ensures demographic information is included only when it impacts care, avoiding bias while maintaining patient-centered treatment.
