When faced with a situation where hospital rules restrict visitation to only parents and grandparents in the pediatric ICU, a healthcare provider is urged by family members to make an exception due to a potentially life-threatening cardiac issue. How should the healthcare provider approach this situation based on the discussed concept of particularism?
1) Strictly adhere to rules and deny entry to anyone other than parents and grandparents
2) Allow exceptions based on unique circumstances and relationships after consulting higher authorities
3) Show particularism by allowing entry for anyone requesting, regardless of the rules
4) Ignore particularism and rely on the universal rule to not allow entrance
5) Demand the family members leave the hospital immediately
