Question 1 of 5

A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is caring for a patient who is also a hospital employee. Several nurses have called seeking information about the patient. What should the nurse do in response to these inquiries?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Acknowledging the patient's presence without disclosing specific details balances privacy with transparency. It adheres to HIPAA by limiting information to a need-to-know basis. Referring to the supervisor may delay responses and overburden them. Transferring calls breaches privacy without patient consent. Contacting the provider is inefficient for handling inquiries.
