Category - Professionalism

Client advocacy on the part of the nurse is characterized by all of the following, except:
  1. Providing paternalistic care.
  2. Ensuring that the client’s rights and privacy are provided for at all times.
  3. Working with a “client comes first” attitude.
  4. Ensuring the client has access to all necessary information to help make informed decisions.
Explanation
Answer: A - Providing paternalistic care would mean giving care that is not requested or agreed to by the client. This interferes with the client’s rights. Nurses must always act with the clients best interests in mind, allowing them freedom of choice and ensuring they have access to all information necessary to make informed decisions.
