I’d just give them the meds info, that’s all they asked for.

I’m a bit confused about the legalities here. I guess I’d want to check the release form again before deciding.

This reminds me of a practice question where we had to balance patient privacy with hospital needs. I think option B makes the most sense.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like I might lean towards option C just to be safe. It’s tricky with patient info.

I remember we talked about confidentiality and only sharing what's authorized. I think I would go with option B.
