Respect for people is one of three basic ethical principles that nurses and other health care profession

als should use as a basis for clinical decision making. Respect implies that clients are treated as auton

omous individuals capable of making informed decisions about their care. This client autonomy is ref

erred to as self-determination, or self-

management, and is best illustrated byallowing a client to decide to take medication with fruit juice ra

determination appropriately and might possibly endanger the client’s life.
