Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse respects the client's autonomy through client's rights, informed consent, and encouraging the client to make choices about his or her health care. The nurse has a duty to take actions that promote the client's health (beneficence) and that do not harm the client (nonmaleficence). The nurse must treat all clients fairly (justice), be truthful and honest (veracity), and honor all duties and commitments to clients and families (fidelity).
