A nurse is preparing an in-service about evidence-based practice (EBP). Which of the following information should the nurse include about peer-reviewed sources of information?

Explanation:

A. Glasgow coma scale result - This would be included in the assessment segment of SBAR, as it provides a clinical evaluation of the client's current neurological status.

B. History of the injury - The situation segment is used to briefly explain the current situation or the reason for the report. Including the history of the injury provides context about why the client is receiving care.

C. Medication during the next shift - This information is part of the Recommendation segment of SBAR. The nurse should include any upcoming medication administration, changes in medication orders, or specific medications that need to be administered during the next shift.

D. Intracranial pressure readings - This information should be included in the Assessment segment of SBAR. It provides important data about the client's intracranial status, helps monitor for changes or trends, and guides ongoing management and interventions.

Explanation:

A. It is not permissible because the provider should disclose laboratory results or findings to a client.

This statement is not accurate in this context. While it is true that healthcare providers are responsible for disclosing test results to clients, this responsibility is typically limited to the provider-patient relationship, not to family members of healthcare workers.

B. It is not permissible because there is no nurse-client relationship between the sibling and nurse.

This is the correct choice. In healthcare ethics and legal standards, privacy and confidentiality are essential. The nurse has a duty to maintain the confidentiality of patient information, and this duty extends to family members of patients. Since there is no official nurse-client relationship between the nurse and her sibling, accessing the sibling's diagnostic test results would violate the privacy and confidentiality rights of the sibling.

C. It is permissible because the sibling has paid for the service.

Payment for services does not override the principles of confidentiality and privacy in healthcare. Even if the sibling has paid for the service, it does not grant the nurse permission to access the sibling's medical information without proper authorization.

D. It is permissible because the client's sibling made the request.

The fact that the sibling made the request does not automatically make it permissible for the nurse to access the diagnostic test results. Confidentiality and privacy considerations are paramount in healthcare, and access to patient information is typically restricted to authorized individuals involved in the patient's care.
