Question 1 of 5

A nurse is taking a morning break with the unit secretary in the nurses' lounge. The unit secretary says to the nurse, 'I read in Mr. Gage's medical record that he has gonorrhea.' How should the nurse respond to the secretary?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A client's medical condition is confidential and should never be discussed with anyone other than the client and the client's healthcare provider.
Therefore, the nurse must tell the unit secretary that the client's condition is not to be discussed.

Choices A and B confirm the client's disease, which is inappropriate as it breaches patient confidentiality.
Choice D promotes further discussion of the client's condition, which is also inappropriate. The correct response is to firmly state, 'We can't discuss a client's medical condition,' to uphold patient privacy and confidentiality.
