a report the violation to risk manager or supervisor
b minimize the uaps screen since they will return
c log out of the uaps screen
d speak privately with the uap

Explanation:

Patient - privacy and security of electronic medical records are crucial. Leaving the record open poses a risk of unauthorized access. Log - ging out immediately protects the patient's information. Reporting the violation and speaking privately with the UAP are important but not the first actions. Minimizing the screen is not as secure as logging out.

Answer:

C. Log out of the UAP's screen
