Question 1 of 5
A nurse administers an incorrect medication to a client. Following an assessment of the client,the nurse determines that the client has experienced no untoward effects as a result of the medication. The nurse does not complete an incident report because no harm came to the client. Which of the following ethical principles did the nurse violate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Beneficence. Beneficence is the ethical principle of doing good and acting in the best interest of the client. By not completing an incident report after administering the incorrect medication, the nurse failed to uphold this principle. Even though no harm came to the client, it is still important to report errors to ensure patient safety and prevent future incidents.
Other choices are incorrect because:
- B: Autonomy: Autonomy refers to respecting the client's right to make decisions about their own care, which is not directly violated in this scenario.
- C: Veracity: Veracity refers to honesty and truthfulness, which is not directly applicable in this situation.
- D: Confidentiality: Confidentiality refers to keeping patient information private, which is not directly relevant to the scenario provided.
