The nurse at a substance abuse center answers the phone. A probation officer asks if a client is in treatment. The nurse responds, "No, the client you're looking for isn't here. " Which of the following statements best describes the nurse's response
A．Correct because she didn't give out information about the client.
B．A breech of the principle of veracity because the nurse is misleading the officer.
C．Illegal because she's withholding information from law enforcement agents.
D．A violation of confidentiality because she informed the officer that the client wasn't there.
参考答案：D
解析：The nurse violated confidentiality by informing the officer that the client wasn't in treatment. Even with law enforcement agents, the nurse must be a client advocate and protect the client's confidentiality. Information can be legally withheld when a court order isn't in place.
