Duncan was in a car accident on his twenty-third birthday. While he was in surgery, his brother went to the hospital to check his status. The nurses were unable to give his brother any information. Which best explains why the nurse was unable to give the brother information? Duncan never gave his consent to share his information.

His brother did not have his birth certificate to prove the relationship.

There was no information about Duncan in the system.

Nurses can only give information to Duncan’s guardian.
