What is the best response for the nurse to give to the visitor regarding the patient's information?

I can share the patient's information with you since you are a visitor.

I'm sorry, but I cannot disclose any information regarding the patient.

The patient has authorized me to discuss their condition with family members.

Please wait while I check if the patient wants me to update you.
