Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with a mental illness. Which of the following actions by the nurse demonstrates the ethical concept of autonomy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Supporting the client’s wish to refuse prescribed medications. Autonomy is the ethical principle that respects an individual's right to make their own decisions. By supporting the client's wish to refuse medications, the nurse is honoring the client's autonomy and right to self-determination. This empowers the client to have control over their own healthcare decisions.
Choice B focuses on ensuring the client understands expectations, which is related to informed consent but not specifically autonomy.
Choice C involves explaining rules and policies, which is important for safety and structure but does not directly relate to autonomy.
Choice D focuses on client feedback, which is related to client satisfaction but not necessarily autonomy.
