    Question: 1 of 69Ati Rn Leadership 2026 Proctored Exam
    A charge nurse overhears a staff nurse discussing a client's diagnosis in the cafeteria. Which of the following responses should the charge nurse make?
    Explanation
    A. Suggesting to discuss concerns with the care team does not immediately address the breach of confidentiality in a public area and may allow the inappropriate discussion to continue. B. The charge nurse’s first responsibility is to stop the breach of confidentiality immediately by addressing the staff nurse in the moment and instructing them to stop discussing the client in a public area. This protects the client’s privacy and complies with HIPAA. C. Asking about HIPAA regulations is educational but does not immediately stop the inappropriate discussion, which is the priority. D. Notifying the provider is not the correct first step. Immediate correction of behavior takes priority, with follow-up education or reporting as needed.
