Answer:

A, Suggest to the doctor that there might be a better way to treat the

patient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Communication is key in healthcare. If you suspect something to be amiss, you need to inform a higher-up. For example, if you see salt packets on the tray of someone with high blood pressure, you should tell the dietician or someone else who can make an adjustment. Hope it helps :)
