Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is hospitalized for a mental disorder. The nurse is legally obligated to breach the client's confidentiality if the client makes which statement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it indicates a potential threat of harm towards the neighbor. As a nurse, duty to warn and protect others takes precedence over client confidentiality in cases where harm to others is threatened. This statement raises concerns about the safety of the neighbor and requires intervention to prevent potential harm.
Choices A, B, and C do not pose an immediate threat of harm to others and can be addressed through therapeutic communication within the boundaries of confidentiality.
