A 48-year-old female presents to an outpatient orthopedic clinic in British Columbia with her 16-year-old daughter, who has sustained a non-displaced distal radius fracture. The mother, who is wearing a niqab covering her face except for her eyes, is providing the history on behalf of her daughter, who appears shy. During the consultation, the orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Alistair, states, 'I find it challenging to connect and understand a patient's concerns fully when I cannot see their facial expressions. Would you be willing to remove your face covering so we can have a more open dialogue?' The mother immediately expresses discomfort, stating, 'My faith requires this covering, and I am speaking clearly.' She becomes visibly upset and, later that day, lodges a formal complaint with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, citing a lack of respect for her religious beliefs. Which of the following principles was most directly violated by Dr. Alistair's request?
