Answer
C
Using identifiable photos and health details in a presentation requires the client's specific written authorization, and the material shared should be limited to what is needed.
A
Tattoos and a recognizable gym logo can still identify the client even with the face blurred.
B
Telling the client afterward is notification, not consent, and the disclosure has already happened.
D
A general membership clause is not specific consent for presenting health details and progress photos as a case.
C
Using identifiable photos and health details in a presentation requires the client's specific written authorization, and the material shared should be limited to what is needed.
