A charge nurse is observing the actions of an assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following actions by the AP is appropriate?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A because logging off the computer after entering client information ensures patient confidentiality and data security. By logging off, the AP prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information. Choice B violates patient privacy as medical diagnoses should not be publicly displayed. Choice C is inappropriate as it risks breaching patient confidentiality by leaving sensitive information accessible to others. Choice D is a violation of security protocols as sharing passwords compromises data integrity and confidentiality.
