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?

But what about patient privacy? Shouldn't they still try to obtain consent before disclosing PHI?
