A client becomes upset when touched by a staff member who is attempting to assess the client's blood pressure. The nurse recognizes that there is a problem with:
1. Confidentiality.
2. Staff control.
3. Duty to protect.
4. Informed consent.
4
Rationale: A client has the right to understand the treatment process prior to consenting to treatment. This is called informed consent and is required by all states. Staff members do not control clients, but work with clients. Duty to protect is a safeguard that is an exception to confidentiality and privilege. Confidentiality is the mechanism to ensure the client's privacy.
