On the way back to her unit, after lunch, Nina the New Nurse is approached by Rick Rescue, RN. He says, “So, I hear my sister’s friend is on your unit. She may be one of your clients. What’s going on with her? How’s she doing?” What is Nina the New Nurses best response?”
  1. “She’s not mine, but I’ll check her chart and let you know.”
  2. “Go visit your friend; she can decide if she wants to share her confidential information with you.”
  3. “Well, the source of infection has been narrowed down to her botched breast implant; she’s tolerating the IV antibiotics fairly well, though her diarrhea is awful!”
  4. “I can’t give you all the details, but she’s in very good hands; her doctor is the head of infectious diseases.”
Explanation
Answer: B - By referring Rick Rescue, RN to the client, Nina the New Nurse protects the clients’ right to privacy and confidentiality. Discussing client information in a public place is violating a client’s right to confidentiality; providing information to anyone not directly involved in caring for a client, or sharing information without a client’s permission, are both violations of a client’s right to privacy.
