Answer 1

Reviewing the use of a fitness application with a client is an acceptable use of social media in client care. The correct option is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse should include reviewing the use of a fitness application with a client as an acceptable use of social media in client care.

Reviewing the use of a fitness application can be beneficial in helping a nurse provide personalized and evidence-based recommendations for their client's fitness goals and overall health.

Additionally, it is important to ensure that client privacy and confidentiality are maintained when using social media, so accepting a social media friend request from a client and sharing client information with a coworker in a private social media message are not acceptable uses of social media in client care. The correct option is b.
