Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic kidney disease. The nurse should identify which of the following laboratory values as an indication for hemodialysis?
Correct Answer: A

Nonmaleficence (A) is the duty to do no harm, not necessarily to actively promote good. Justice (B) is about fairness and equal treatment, not specifically about benefiting others. Veracity (C) is about truth-telling, not necessarily about promoting the good of others. In this context, "Beneficence" is the most appropriate choice as it aligns with the concept of promoting the well-being of others.
