Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Justice refers to the patient/client's right to receive the right drug, the right dose, by the right route, at the right time. Fidelity is when the nurse should keep a promise made to the patient/client. Statements such as "'ll be right back" and "I'll check the chart and let you know" create a covenant that should be respected. The principle of beneficence holds that the nurse should act in the patient/client's best interests. If the nurse overrides a patient/client's wishes, deciding what is best for the patient/client, the nurse is violating the patient/client's rights.
