medium · NCLEX-RN Management of Care
An RN is caring for a client who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. During the shift report, a staff member refers to the client using incorrect pronouns and makes a stereotypical remark about the client's appearance.
Which response by the RN best demonstrates professional advocacy?
- Document the staff member's remarks in the client's permanent medical record.
- Ignore the comment to maintain a positive working relationship with the healthcare team, in this situation.
- Politely correct the staff member and state that unbiased treatment requires honoring the client's identity.
- Request to have the client reassigned to a different nurse to avoid further conflict, at this point in care.
