Q1
A 64-year-old client in a long-term care facility has early dementia but is able to answer simple questions and has not designated a healthcare proxy. The client's neighbor arrives at the nurses' station and asks whether the client "is getting worse" and what medications the client is taking. Facility policy prohibits sharing health information without the client's permission. Which action should the nurse take to maintain client confidentiality?
