A client receiving pain reassessment after repositioning and analgesic administration.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse verbally contracts with a client to reassess their pain level after repositioning and an analgesic is given. The nurse returns within 60 minutes to evaluate effectiveness of the interventions. What ethical principle does this represent?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: fidelity. Fidelity refers to the ethical principle of keeping promises or commitments made to clients. In this scenario, the nurse made a verbal contract with the client to reassess their pain level after interventions were implemented. By returning within the specified time frame to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions, the nurse is demonstrating fidelity by following through on their commitment to the client.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Paternalism involves making decisions for the client without their input, which is not the case here.
B: Confidentiality pertains to protecting the client's privacy and not relevant to this scenario.
C: Responsibility refers to being accountable for one's actions, but it does not capture the essence of fulfilling a specific commitment as fidelity does.
