An RPN has worked with a 74-year-old patient with multiple co-morbidities, including diabetes, stage 3 kidney failure and colon cancer. The patient does not have any family and no friends have visited during the 45-day long admission. The RPN is worried about the patient who was transferred to the palliative care unit the night before. As the RPN takes a break in the hospital cafeteria, they see a nurse who works on the palliative unit. The RPN approaches the palliative care nurse and asks how the patient is doing. How should the palliative nurse respond?
O "Unfortunately, the patient slipped into a coma this morning."
O "I am sorry but I cannot share that information with you."
O "I cannot say anything in a public place but maybe you can pop up and see her in room B210."
O "She is pretty lonely and her prognosis is poor."
