The nurse manager observes the nurses on the unit. Which action represents a breach of client confidentiality?
a) A nurse giving report to the oncoming shift at the client's bedside
b) A nurse shredding a client's printed laboratory results
c) A nurse posting positive information about a client on social media
d) A nurse logging off the computer before leaving the workstation

The correct answer is: c) A nurse posting positive information about a client on social media.

Choice A reason: While giving a report to the oncoming shift at the client's bedside might potentially expose confidential information, it is generally an accepted practice in many healthcare settings as long as privacy is maintained and the patient consents.
Choice B reason: Shredding a client's printed laboratory results is actually a good practice to ensure that confidential information is disposed of securely, preventing unauthorized access.
Choice C reason: Posting any information about a client on social media, even if it is positive, is a direct breach of client confidentiality. This action exposes the client's personal health information to a wide audience, violating privacy regulations such as HIPA
