A nurse is reviewing a client's laboratory results while rounding with a precepting student nurse. Which action by the nurse best ensures client confidentiality and privacy?
Allow the student nurse to review the results on a shared workstation once logged in
Discuss the lab results with the student in a private area away from others
Review the lab results at the client’s bedside without confirming their identity
Converse about the lab findings in a quiet tone while walking down the hospital hallway
The correct answer ensures that the client's private information is protected at all times by discussing sensitive details in a controlled environment. Sharing information in public spaces, failing to confirm the client's identity, or leaving information accessible to unauthorized viewers compromises confidentiality and violates professional standards.
