The nurse provides wound care to a client at the time promised to the client. The nurse refers' a client who has chronic obstructive pulmonary diffase for palliative care services. The nurse declines to inform a client's neighbor about the client's prognosis. The nurse files an incident report regarding a medication error.

The answer is: The nurse refers a client who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for palliative care services.

This action demonstrates reliability and professionalism, but it does not specifically involve advocating for the client's needs or rights.

This scenario is an example of advocacy because the nurse is taking action to ensure the client receives appropriate care that aligns with their health needs and preferences. By referring the client to palliative care, the nurse is advocating for the client's quality of life and comfort.

While this action respects the client's privacy and confidentiality, it is more about maintaining ethical standards rather than actively advocating for the client's needs or rights.

Filing an incident report is a part of ensuring patient safety and improving healthcare systems, but it is not directly advocating for a specific client's needs or rights in the moment.
