Answer to Question 1

B
Beneficence is the duty to do good to others and to maintain a balance between benefits and harms.
This principle is practiced when you provide all patients, including the terminally ill, with caring
attention; treat every patient with respect and courtesy; and become familiar with your local, state, and
governmental laws regarding organ donations. By greeting each patient with the name he prefers to be
called, you are demonstrating respect. By asking whether she needs anything, you are providing caring
attention.
