Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best way to conduct an interview with a client in a busy and crowded emergency department is to draw curtains around the client and nurse to provide as much privacy as possible. This will allow the nurse to ask sensitive questions and collect important information without being overheard by others in the department. It also helps to maintain the client's dignity and confidentiality. Waiting until the department quiets down or conducting the interview in the waiting room may result in delays in care and compromise the quality of nursing care. Ensuring that the client's back is to the rest of the room is not sufficient to ensure privacy and confidentiality.
