hi.I am not sure, but observed is wrong in this sentence

Answer 1

try "preserved."

Answer 2

so the observed is wrong here

Answer 3

Again, if you had posted your directions SEPARATELY FROM your sentence, you'd have gotten a better answer.

The incorrect word in the sentence you posted is "be" near the beginning of the sentence -- and if you are supposed to replace it, the correct verb is "must be."

Answer 4

thanks

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Your observation is correct. In the sentence you provided, the word "observed" is not used correctly. The correct word to use in this context is "should".

To explain how to identify the correct usage, we typically use "should" to express what is recommended or expected in a particular situation. In this case, it is recommended that nurses maintain confidentiality by not discussing clients when the conversation can be overheard by others.

Here's the corrected sentence:
"Confidentiality should be observed at all times, so the nurse should not discuss clients when the conversation can be overheard by others."

To avoid confusion, it's important to differentiate between the recommended action in the sentence ("should") and the action that is actually being done ("be observed").
