If so, what are they? •Based on the daughter’s age, does the mother have a right to not disclose the diagnosis to her daughter? •Does the mother have a right to the privacy regarding her own diagnosis, which could be threatened if her daughter learns of her own status? •Are there other approaches the staff can take? If so, what are they? •Is further information required in order for you to create an ethically sound suggested course of action?
