One of your closest friend’s mum is admitted to the clinical area where you are currently on placement. Your friend approaches you whilst you are out socialising and askes specific questions about her mum and the long-term effects of her condition. You explain to your friend that you cannot disclose any information regarding her mum. She becomes very upset at your response and appears emotionally distressed. There is nobody with you, who you could ask for support at this moment hence, you feel conflicted with your decision to withhold information from your friend. With reference to two of the professional values from the practice-based assessment (PAD), critically analyse and evaluate the impact of your action with specific reference to the professional, ethical and legal considerations in relation to your role as a pre-registration student nurse.
