A nurse is conducting a discharge teaching session with a client who underwent a minor surgical procedure. The client expresses concern about knowing their rights as a patient in case they require follow-up care at another facility. What is the BEST response by the nurse?
Inform the client that their rights will be explained at the next facility if follow-up care is needed.
Advise the client to check their discharge paperwork for any notes related to patient rights.
Reassure the client they can call the healthcare provider if they have follow-up concerns about their rights at another facility.
Provide the client with a written copy of their patient rights and review how to contact the facility’s patient advocate for further questions.
The correct answer emphasizes the importance of providing the client with written materials and education about patient rights, helping ensure the client is informed and empowered. Including contact information for further assistance supports ongoing understanding. Other answers may touch on aspects of patient rights but fail to address educating the client or ensuring they know how to access further resources.
