A 26-year-old client is brought to the emergency room by a friend. The client is unable to give any coherent history. Which response should the nurse provide when the client's friend offers to provide information regarding the client?

There is no need for that as I will call his primary care provider to obtain the information we need.

Yes, I will be happy to get any information and history that you can provide.

I'm sorry, but I cannot take any information from you as it would violate confidentiality laws.

Yes, however, we will have to get a release signed from the client for you to be able to talk with me. . .
