It’s not difficult.
A is wrong because whoever wrote this is in no position to evaluate if the person reading it is is capable of “to check if the gun is loaded” without blowing their own head off.
D is wrong because the person whoever wrote this is in no position to evaluate if the person reading it is capable of “hold the gun personally without blowing their own head off.”
C is the only correct answer.

The most lawyer friendly answer is probably C.
I am not a doctor, but I do know how to handle firearms, so I would also unload and ensure that the gun is not in a condition to fire. This would probably dock me points for diluting potential evidence or some such horseshit, but it’d still be the right thing to do. Provided you knew what you were doing.

Doing anything to the gun is probably a bad idea, even if you have experience with firearms. This gun came from a gang member, it could be in a very janky altered condition that makes it act unpredictably. If you were going to try to disarm it then you should still move it outside first before attempting that just in case it malfunction and fires while you’re trying to manipulate it

…And get it pointed at something that can catch a pistol round.

(Though tbf, while pointing a safe direction is always imperative, I’ve yet to see a gun fire from having the mag dropped or the slide racked, or the cylinder swung out, and I’m very experienced with firearms.)

Hospitals have security for a reason. You touching a gun when they have procedures on how to handle this situation is dangerous. If you are on staff you follow procedures. If you are just there and do know about gun safety you would know not to pick up that gun.
