The nurse discovers a patient care assistant looking through the client’s belongings while the client is out of the room. Which action should be taken by the nurse?

ExplanationThe nurse should report the incident to the charge nurse. Further action might be needed, but it will be done by the charge nurse. Answers A, C, and D are incorrect because discussing the nursing assistant’s behavior with family is not needed at this time, and monitoring and ignoring the situation are inadequate responses.
