Simulated
The nurse encounters a client crying in her room. Upon talking to the client, it is discovered that she is upset because a new nursing assistant made her go out for a walk with the group even though the client informed her that she waits for her daughter to go for her walk. This is a potential violation of which ethical principle?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Forcing the client to walk disregards her preference, violating autonomy, which prioritizes self-determination over assumed benefits.
