Does the daughter have a right to know her diagnosis? Does the mother have a right to not disclose the diagnosis to her daughter? Does the mother have a right to privacy regarding her own diagnosis, which could be threatened if her daughter learns of her own status? Should the staff tell the daughter if the mother does not want her to know? If the daughter wants to know more about her condition, what should the staff say? Are there other approaches the staff can take? If so, what are they? Is further information required in order for you to create an ethically sound suggested course of action?
