Answer: 1. an ethical violation of the patient's right to privacy

Explanation:

Disclosing a patient’s personal health information without authorization is an invasion of his right to privacy and confidentiality.

Any medical professional has to follow an ethical code that includes the protection of the right to privacy of any patient through the entire case discussion, consultation, examination, and treatment. Furthermore, they should all make sure their colleagues do likewise.
