Clinical & Professional Dilemma Part One (1300 words) Clinical & Professional Dilemma You are an osteopathic undergraduate student completing a clinical observation placement at a university osteopathic clinic. One day, you encounter a patient seeking treatment for chronic low back pain. During the initial consultation, you are left alone with the patient when the senior osteopathic students go to find a practice educator, and they reveal that they have been self-medicating with a friend`s prescription pain medication, which they find more effective than over-the-counter painkillers. The patient asks you not to disclose this information to their senior osteopathic student or the practice educator provider or anyone else.

In your response, you should discuss the professionalism challenges presented in this scenario. Address the following points:
• The ethical considerations involved in maintaining patient confidentiality versus the obligation to protect patient safety.How you would approach this situation, considering your duty to the patient, the osteopathic profession, and the law.
