Question 1 of 5
Group therapy is strongly encouraged,but not mandatory in an inpatient psychiatric unit. The unit manager's policy is that clients can make a choice about whether or not to attend group therapy. Which ethical principle does the unit manager's policy preserve?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Autonomy. Autonomy is the ethical principle that respects an individual's right to make independent decisions about their own treatment. By allowing clients in the inpatient psychiatric unit to choose whether or not to attend group therapy, the unit manager's policy preserves their autonomy. This empowers clients to have control over their treatment and promotes self-determination.
Summary of other choices:
B: Justice - Justice relates to fairness and equal treatment. This choice is not relevant to the scenario described.
C: Beneficence - Beneficence is the ethical principle of doing good and acting in the best interest of the client. While group therapy may be beneficial, the policy in question focuses on client choice rather than beneficence.
D: Veracity - Veracity relates to truthfulness and honesty in communication. This choice is not directly related to the client's decision-making autonomy regarding group therapy attendance.
