How is the identity of a person submitting a complaint against a nurse handled by the BON during an investigation?

Publicly disclosed at the onset
Kept confidential throughout the investigation
Only revealed if requested by the nurse
Shared with the media

The correct answer is: Kept confidential throughout the investigation

During an investigation, the Board of Nursing (BON) keeps the identity of the person submitting a complaint against a nurse confidential. This is to protect the privacy of both the person submitting the complaint and the nurse under investigation. Options A and D are incorrect because they involve publicly disclosing the identity, which can have negative consequences for the person submitting the complaint and the nurse. Option C is also incorrect because the BON does not reveal the identity unless necessary for the investigation. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate and ethical way for the BON to handle the identity of the complainant during an investigation.
