If the patient's family requests to see the patient's medical record and you are the night shift nurse caring for a recently admitted patient who appears confused, then talk to the family about the concerns they have.
Knowing one's family's medical records enables one to take precautions to lower risk. Healthcare providers may suggest more regular screening (such as mammography or colonoscopy) starting earlier in life for patients who have a higher chance of developing specific malignancies. The doctor should ask the patient if he or she would prefer to be told if a family member wishes that specific information (for instance, prognostic information in the case of a stroke, another neurologic injury, or malignancy) be concealed from the patient or not.
