What is one of the conditions under which a pharmacist can disclose patient's personal health information to another individual?

  1. Upon request from any family member

  2. To a marketing agency for health products

  3. To someone providing care to the individual

  4. For public awareness campaigns

The correct answer is: To someone providing care to the individual

A and B are incorrect because they are not authorized reasons to disclose a patient's personal health information. A pharmacist can only disclose personal health information to a family member with the patient's explicit consent or in certain emergency situations. Marketing agencies are not involved in the care of the patient and therefore do not have a valid reason for obtaining this information. D is also incorrect because public awareness campaigns do not fall under the category of providing care to the individual.
