A nurse is caring for a client who reports feeling spiritual distress because his prescribed treatment plan conflicts with his religion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

A. Block the coworker's access to social media on hospital computers. Blocking access to social media on hospital computers may prevent future posts but does not address the immediate HIPAA violation or educate the coworker about proper conduct.
B. Refer the coworker to the hospital ethics committee. This may be a subsequent step if the violation is severe, but it does not provide an immediate response to the HIPAA breach.
C. Tell the coworker to delete the social media post. While this might remove the current violation, it does not follow the proper protocol for reporting HIPAA breaches and does not ensure accountability or prevent future incidents.
D. Report the coworker's post to the nurse manager or supervisor. This is the correct action. Reporting to the nurse manager or supervisor ensures that the incident is documented, investigated, and handled according to the hospital’s policies and HIPAA regulations.

A. Shut all the doors on the unit. Shutting doors helps to contain the fire and prevent its spread, but it is not the immediate priority.
B. Initiate the facility's fire alarm. Initiating the fire alarm is crucial for alerting others and ensuring the safety of everyone in the facility. However, immediate action should focus on client safety.
C. Evacuate the client's room. Evacuating the client's room is the priority for ensuring the client's safety in the event of a fire. This action should be taken before attempting to address the fire or other tasks.
D. Extinguish the fire. While extinguishing the fire is important, the immediate priority should be the safety of individuals in the room. Extinguishing the fire can be attempted if safe to do so, but evacuation comes first.
