2 Confidentiality and Air Force One Question 1 Even though the client was not in acute need of critical medical attention, I would still try to talk to him because he posed a risk to himself and the people working around him. I believe that the client needed to be made aware of the severity of his situation, how it has damaged his health, and how he needs to do better at taking care of himself. Due to his sobriety, the police had a very important job he could not endanger. Then, I would tell the officer that I would communicate with his boss personally to inform him that this person was not qualified to fly safely and required additional medical attention for his own health. I would then continue our chat. Question 2 Though I think it would be challenging to manage, I would not want it to have a disastrous or unfavorable outcome for anyone involved. The patient's lack of sincerity further suggests that the patient may be struggling with alcoholism or a more serious issue than just an inflamed liver. Due to the risk the officer is taking with the president and the others who would be on board his operation/plane, and I would most certainly let the pilot's boss know. The patient's health comes first, and while I believe the officer should be able to notify his wife about his situation, I would not prioritize doing so in this case. Patient confidentiality also applies to family members; it is neither my duty nor my right to notify the patient's wife on his behalf. However, if he chooses not to tell his wife, I would feel compelled to do so because his swollen liver would put him in danger if he kept drinking.

3 Question 3 Since lives are still at risk regarding the patient's position as a professional pilot, I would not change my approach. Since the pilot is putting many people at risk, I would also let the employer know. Given that the patient has an inflamed liver and continuing drinking can be disastrous, the employer must also be aware of this risk to the patient's health. The passengers on the plane would be at risk if the pilot were to be flying when something happened to his or her liver. Furthermore, I would be comfortable alerting the family because of the confidentiality issue, and I would expect that the pilot would let his wife know what was going on since, in the patient's condition, he or she could not properly and effectively operate the aircraft. Question 4 The patient and the practitioner do not need to disclose any information regarding the patient's sickness to the patient's family, spouse, or children. Parents have various rights to medical information when it comes to patients who are below the age of 18. The information a doctor provides to a patient can also be given to the patient's family on request, or if the family is there, they would not need to be present while the doctor is present. Question 5 I do not think it would ever be reasonable to violate a patient's confidentiality unless the patient was endangering themselves or others. I would violate confidentiality if the client worked in a profession where their sobriety would influence how they completed a day at work, making them potentially dangerous, similar to the case study presented. For example, if a school bus driver were an alcoholic, I would let the patient's boss know because the person would be endangering the youngsters in the vehicle. Additionally, if the person was at risk for harming

4 themselves, had a condition that would be deadly in a short time, or was not psychologically stable, she might harm herself. Question 6 I do not think I have ever had an issue with patient confidentiality. I have been fortunate not to have any relatives who have needed hospitalization or would not give us a report on their condition. I have not experienced any additional issues with my medical care either, though I believe that if you are under 18, your parents have a right to see your medical records. In other words, people can still make appointments and get mail addresses that contain things like test results. Once you reach the age of 18, you can sign a paper outlining what information you wish to be kept private between you and your doctor as well as what the doctor's office is permitted to share with your parents.
