Question

a nurse looks up information in a clients medical record but is not involved in the care of the client. the nurse is violating which of the following standards of professional performance?
evidence - based practice
collaboration
code of ethics
quality of practice

Explanation:

The nurse's action of accessing a client's medical record without being involved in care violates privacy and confidentiality principles. These principles are part of the nursing code of ethics, which emphasizes respecting client rights and maintaining ethical conduct. Evidence - based practice relates to using research for care, collaboration to working with teams, and quality of practice to care standards. None of these directly address unauthorized record access like the code of ethics does.

Answer:

Code of ethics
