A patient states, "I don't think I'll ever be able to give myself an injection." The best reply by the nurse is:
"What bothers you most about the idea of giving yourself an injection?"
"Everyone feels like that at first. You'll get over it."
“I know just how you feel. I would have trouble giving myself an injection."
"Don't be afraid. It's an easy skill for anyone to learn."
The Correct Answer is A
A. "What bothers you most about the idea of giving yourself an injection?" This open-ended question allows the patient to express specific fears or concerns, facilitating a deeper conversation to address the patient’s worries.
B. "Everyone feels like that at first. You'll get over it." This response is dismissive and may invalidate the patient’s feelings by suggesting that their concern is typical rather than unique.
C. “I know just how you feel. I would have trouble giving myself an injection." While empathetic, this response shifts focus to the nurse’s feelings rather than exploring the patient’s specific concerns.
D. "Don't be afraid. It's an easy skill for anyone to learn." This response minimizes the patient’s fear and could make them feel dismissed rather than supported.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Motivated to learn about the health problem of this patient and is appropriately seeking knowledge during his clinical experience.
Accessing information without being the assigned caregiver is inappropriate, regardless of motivation, as it breaches confidentiality and privacy protocols.
B. Doing appropriate research about nursing care as long as information is not divulged. Even without sharing information, accessing a patient’s chart without need-to-know status is a privacy violation and does not constitute appropriate research.
C. Violating the confidentiality of the patient's record.
This choice is correct as the student is breaching confidentiality by accessing patient records without a care-related need to know. Only those involved in the patient's care should access their chart.
D. Neglecting the assigned patient load and should read the unassigned patient’s medical record only after his assigned work is completed.
Reading an unassigned patient’s record, even after finishing other duties, is still a breach of confidentiality.
