What should you do when a patient asks for her blood pressure readings after you check it?

Ignore the request
Provide her the reading
Refer her to the nurse
Tell her she can't have the information

The correct answer is: Ignore the request

It is important for healthcare professionals to respect patients' requests for health information, so simply ignoring the request would be unprofessional. Providing the reading yourself could lead to miscommunication or misinterpretation of the results. Referring to the nurse may also be unnecessary, as the patient may have a right to their own medical records. However, telling the patient they cannot have the information would be incorrect, as patients have the right to access their own medical records. Therefore, the best course of action would be to educate the patient on how to properly request and access their own medical records, rather than providing the reading yourself.
