, Module 5 Exam: NUR2811: Nursing
Capstone
Rationale: Nonmaleficence is the avoidance of hurt or harm.
Remember that in healthcare ethics, ethical practice involves not
only the will to do good but also the equal commitment to do no
harm. Healthcare professionals try to balance the risks and
benefits of a plan of care while striving to do the least possible
harm. Justice refers to fairness and equity and ensuring fair
allocation of resources, such as nursing care for all clients. Fidelity
is the keeping of promises made to clients, families, and other
healthcare professionals. Autonomy refers to a person’s
independence and represents an agreement to respect another’s
right to determine his or her course of action.
Test-Taking Strategy: Focus on the subject - the ethical principle
being utilized. Recall the definition of each item in the options. Note
the relationship of the strategic words “least possible harm“ in the
question and the definition of nonmaleficence.

Capstone
The nurse follows a plan of care designed to relieve pain in a client with
cancer.
Correct!
The nurse administers an immunization to a child even though it may
cause discomfort.
The nurse provides equal amounts of care to all assigned clients on the
basis of illness acuity.
Rationale: Beneficence is taking action to help others. Although
administration of a child’s immunization might cause discomfort,
the benefits of protection from disease outweigh the temporary
discomfort. Fidelity is keeping promises made to clients, families,
and other healthcare professionals. Autonomy is a person’s
independence. Respecting another’s autonomy means that you are
agreeing to respect that person’s right to determine his or her
course of action. Justice refers to fairness and equity, including fair
allocation of resources, such as nursing care for all clients.
Test-Taking Strategy: Focus on the subject, beneficence.
Recalling that beneficence refers to taking action to help others will
direct you to the correct option.
