Mr.Jones is an 88-year-old male brought to the emergency room by his daughter for delirium. Upon clinical assessment it is noted that he has a urinary tract infection (UTI), a common cause of delirium in older adults. Prior to this episode, Mr.Jones was living independently at home and required no assistance to complete his daily routine. Mr.Jones' doctor prescribes him antibiotics for his UTI and explains when and how to take the medication to both him and his daughter. For what reason did the doctor feel it was necessary to explain the medication to the patient's daughter?

a. Doctors are always required to tell family members instructions, regardless of patient condition, if they are present
b. Mr.Jones was incompetent but had the capacity to understand medical instructions, so his doctor just told the daughter since she was in the room also
c. Mr.Jones was competent but lacked the capacity to understand instructions for his medication
d. Mr.Jones was incompetent and lacked the capacity to understand instructions for his medication
e. Mr. Jones had a terminal illness which means his family should be informed of medical instructions
f. Mr.Jones was competent and had the capacity to understand instructions, but the doctor felt that Mr.Jones' daughter should act as his full-time caregiver
