Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an acute mental health facility is teaching a client about the potential adverse effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation. The nurse tells the client that he might feel lightheaded, but that it should not affect his memory. The nurse is demonstrating which of the following ethical principles?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Veracity. Veracity pertains to truthfulness and honesty in communication. In this scenario, the nurse is being truthful by informing the client about the potential side effect of feeling lightheaded from transcranial magnetic stimulation and reassuring him that it should not affect his memory. This demonstrates the ethical principle of veracity as the nurse is providing accurate information to the client.
Choice A, Beneficence, is about promoting the client's well-being, which is not the focus of the nurse's action in this scenario.
Choice B, Fidelity, relates to keeping promises and being trustworthy, which is not the primary ethical principle being demonstrated.
Choice C, Autonomy, involves respecting the client's right to make decisions about their own health care, which is not explicitly demonstrated in this scenario.
