A nurse is speaking with a client who has type 2 diabetes mellitus and a prescription for insulin. The client verbalizes anger about having to take insulin. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. Place the client's medication record on the bedside table while ambulating the client: This action does not relate to protecting the client's privacy. It might actually compromise confidentiality by leaving sensitive information exposed.
B. Give a report about the client's status while standing at the nurses' station: This action does not protect the client's privacy. Discussing sensitive information in a public area can lead to breaches of confidentiality.
C. Speak with the client about their condition after visitors have left: Correct. Protecting the client's privacy is essential, and discussing personal health information in private with the client respects their right to confidentiality.
D. Place a message board in the client's room to post dietary information: This action does not relate to protecting the client's privacy. Posting dietary information may be helpful for staff, but it doesn't address the client's privacy concerns.

A: Standing facing the center of the bed at the client's side is not the most stable position for moving a client, as it does not provide a wide base of support.
B: Placing feet apart with one foot in front of the other provides a wide base of support and allows the nurse to use their body weight to assist in the movement, making this the correct action.
C: Keeping knees and hips straight while bending at the waist toward the client can lead to back strain and does not utilize the stronger leg muscles, making it an incorrect action.
D: Encouraging the client to keep their legs straight and remain still may be helpful, but it does not directly involve the nurse's actions in moving the client, so it is not the correct answer to this question.
