A nurse plans to use a communication board in a client's room. Which consideration is most important?

  1. The board should list the client's full diagnosis and recent laboratory results
  2. The board will increase call light use for questions about diet and activity
  3. The board is visible to anyone entering, so shared information must protect confidentiality
  4. The board replaces the need for staff to review information with the client
Show answer

Correct answer: The board is visible to anyone entering, so shared information must protect confidentiality

Boards help clients and families know the plan, but they are visible to anyone who enters the room.
