A 77-year-old woman with an inoperable brain tumor has been hospitalized for the past 5 days. Her daughter comes to visit her. The patient has asked that her daughter not be told her diagnosis.

After visiting with her mother, the daughter asks to speak to the nurse. She says, My mother claims she has pneumonia, but I know she is not telling me the truth. The daughter asks the nurse to tell her what is truly wrong with her mother. The nurse should tell her that:
1) Her mother has an inoperable brain tumor, but does not wish anyone to know.
2) She needs to speak to the physician in charge of her mother's care.
3) Her mother has requested that her case not be discussed with anyone, not even family.
4) Her mother is very sick with a serious case of pneumonia that could lead to death.
