Question: 1 of 69Ati Rn Leadership 2026 Proctored Exam
A charge nurse is working on a medical-surgical unit. For which of the following nurses' actions should the charge nurse recognize the need to intervene for breach of confidentiality? Select all that apply.
Select all that apply
Explanation
Rationale: A. Nurse 3 was providing CPR at the family's request and following the client’s wishes regarding DNR status. There is no breach of confidentiality in this action. B. Nurse 2 left a computer logged in, which allowed another provider to access client information using the nurse’s active login. This is a breach of confidentiality because it allowed unauthorized access to protected health information (PHI). Nurses should always log off or lock computers when unattended. C. Nurse 1 disclosed information about a client admitted from the emergency department to another client, sharing details about their injury. This is a breach of confidentiality because the nurse shared private client information with someone not involved in the client’s care. D. Nurse 5 administered pre-operative medication and explained surgery details without ensuring the client’s questions were answered. While this is a consent and patient rights issue, it does not constitute a breach of confidentiality. E. Nurse 4 allowed a roommate to interpret medication instructions instead of using a professional interpreter. This is a violation of patient rights and informed consent, but it is not primarily a breach of confidentiality since the client’s information was communicated to someone already in the room with them, with consent implied.
