The practical nurse (PN) overhears a conversation between an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) and another staff member in the hospital cafeteria line concerning a client's reaction to being given a diagnosis of terminal cancer. Which is the best nursing action?

A. Approach the individuals involved and ask them to stop: Immediate intervention stops the breach of confidentiality and maintains client privacy. B. Tell the client of the UAP's concern for him: Would further violate confidentiality and harm trust. C. Try not to listen to the conversation since it is confidential: Passive approach; does not stop the breach. D. Write an incident report and submit it to the unit manager: May be needed afterward, but first action is to stop the conversation.
