Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with teaching a newly licensed nurse about ethical principles. The nurse should include that working to not cause harm to a client, while trying to achieve the best possible outcome, is an example of which of the following ethical principles?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nonmaleficence. Nonmaleficence is the ethical principle of "do no harm." In healthcare, it means that the primary goal is to avoid causing harm to the patient. By working to not cause harm to a client while trying to achieve the best possible outcome, the nurse is adhering to the principle of nonmaleficence.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
A: Kindness - While kindness is important in nursing practice, it is not specifically related to the ethical principle of nonmaleficence.
B: Good manners - Good manners are about politeness and etiquette, not directly related to the ethical principle of nonmaleficence.
C: Common courtesy - Common courtesy is about being polite and considerate, but it does not encompass the ethical principle of nonmaleficence.
