A) Access the lab report for the healthcare provider.
B) Log off the computer before proceeding.
C) Quickly finish the documentation before the healthcare provider logs on.
D) Allow the healthcare provider to access the laboratory report without logging out.

The nurse should log off the computer before allowing the healthcare provider to access another client's record.

Accessing another client's record without proper authorization is a violation of HIPAA regulations. Therefore, the nurse should prioritize protecting patient privacy and logout before allowing anyone else to access the computer.
