The nurse is considering the standards associated with confidentiality. What statement by the nurse demonstrates the responsible handling of a possible elder abuse incident? “If the individual is competent, I really cannot ignore the nursing standards related to confidentiality. ” “The need to report such incidences takes precedence over any professional standard.” “As long as there is physical evidence that abuse has occurred, confidentiality is waived.” “I must attempt to secure the individual’s consent before reporting such events.”
