Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Responsibility and accountability as a critical thinking attitude mean adhering to standards and owning outcomes, like verifying a client's identity before medication to ensure safety. This reflects duty to the patient and profession, avoiding errors (e.g., wrong patient dosing). Thinking independently involves personal judgment, not just following protocol, which this nurse does by sticking to rules. Fairness ensures impartiality, not directly tied to identification steps.

By not cutting corners, the nurse upholds ethical and safety standards, embodying responsibility and accountability, critical for trust and precision in medication administration, a high-stakes nursing task.
