What is wrong with this phrasing: "The charge nurse overheard the nursing assistant discussing the private details of a client's medical condition with a personnel friend in the hospital cafeteria."?

Details

Overheard

Client's

Personnel

The issue with the phrasing lies in the use of "personnel" before "friend." In this context, "personnel" refers to staff or employees, which does not appropriately convey the relationship implied when referring to a "friend." The correct term to use here is "personal," which relates to an individual's private life or personal relationships. Therefore, the phrase should state "a personal friend" to accurately describe the nature of the friendship being discussed.
