A 17-year-old asks a nurse privately about HIV testing and fears that relatives will find out. Which action is most appropriate?
Correct answer: C. Provide privacy and explain confidentiality clearly
- A. Discuss the concern in the waiting area
- B. Promise that no information can ever be disclosed
- C. Provide privacy and explain confidentiality clearly
- D. Tell the adolescent to ask a parent before talking
Explanation
Privacy and a clear explanation of confidentiality help build trust and support honest counseling. The nurse should not make an absolute promise because some situations may require disclosure under law or policy. Discussing the issue publicly breaches privacy.
