Option B - call grandma, she'll know what to do. Or at least she'll make you feel better about it.

E, for sure. Gotta make sure the patient knows all about those privacy practices before you start poking and prodding them. Can't be too careful these days.

D seems like the way to go. Use the PHI, but don't tell anyone else about it. That's like keeping a secret superhero identity, right?

I'm going with option B. The provider should contact a relative before disclosing any PHI, just to be on the safe side. Gotta cover those legal bases, you know?

I think option C is the correct answer. In an emergency, the provider should be able to use their best judgment to provide appropriate treatment without having to worry about all the paperwork.
