Answer 2

None of the provided options precisely define an allied health professional. However, the closest option is:

**a health professional who holistically manages patient care in a hospital or clinic setting.**

Allied health professionals are a diverse group of trained individuals who provide various healthcare services and work alongside physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers. They typically involve services like diagnostic, technical, therapeutic, and assistive interventions for patient care, but they don't necessarily prescribe medications or manage patient records as a primary role.
