Psychosocial IntegrityQuestion 1954 of 2368
How should the nurse plan to share abnormal reproductive screening results with a client?
- By letter, because a letter is adequate for any type of screening result
- By voicemail message, so the client has time to react to it alone at home
- In the waiting area when the partner arrives, so both hear it together
- In private, because abnormal results can cause an intense emotional response
Show answer
Correct answer: In private, because abnormal results can cause an intense emotional response
A call or letter may do for negative results, but abnormal results need privacy. The nurse documents how the client prefers to be notified.
