Rationale: Confidentiality: Confidentiality refers to the duty to respect and protect the client’s private information and not disclose it without the client’s consent or appropriate legal authorization. Nonmaleficence: Nonmaleficence means 'do no harm.' It is the ethical principle that requires healthcare professionals to avoid causing harm to their clients and to balance potential benefits with possible risks. Accountability: Accountability is the ethical principle that refers to the responsibility of healthcare professionals to answer for their actions and decisions in providing care to clients. Autonomy: Correct. Autonomy is the ethical principle that respects a person’s right to make their own decisions about their healthcare.
