My thoughts:
Daughter is requesting that you NOT TELL BAD NEWS, therefore the answer is C –Tell her it’s a legal requirement to tell the patient.
(However a better answer would have been to ask the daughter why doesn’t she want him to be informed of any bad news –is it dangerous, etc)
-If they were asking: DAUGHTER WANTS TO KNOW test results, then the answer would be B –Ask patient if he wishes to discuss his test results.
Your thoughts?

Both B and C could be right, given the situation....
However or this question, it isn't an issue of confidentiality, thats why I think B is wrong.
In this question it's a matter of "telling the patient the truth" so I still think it's C.

yeah, i agree although the the ethical notes tell us to go for B but given the situation, C seems more appropriate and practical besides at that given time u're not talking to the patient but the daughter....so i will go with c

There are no given answers. These are NBME Questions, and they want to torture us by not giving correct answers, only questions.
