When can a trainer discuss their client's private information publicly
a. only when given consent
b. never
c. anytime the client fails to reach a goal
d. only when the client's family is present
e. only if the client is present
Answer: a. only when given consent
Only when given consent is correct because this information is private and can involve a claim if shared without consent. A personal trainer should never share any private information about their client. However, a client can give written consent to disclose information publicly should the need arise.
Never is incorrect because a client can give written consent if the need arises.
Anytime the client fails to reach a goal is incorrect because this information is private.
Only when the client's family is present is incorrect because the private information belongs only to the client and cannot be shared even with their family.
Only if the client is present is incorrect because private information can only be shared with consent, even when the client is present.
