With whom may the nurse share information about a client's condition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Only the people directly involved in the client's care
- Step 1: Privacy rules allow disclosure only on a need-to-know basis. Step 2. The care team may see the information, while others need the client's permission. Answer: those directly involved in the care. Why not the others: curiosity of other staff or visitors is not a reason to disclose.
