Answer to Question 2

C
The ethical principle of autonomy is the respect for an individual's right to self-determination and respect for individual liberty. When Nurse J insists that all patients receive consent for all procedures, allows her patients to make choices regarding their care, and respects their rights as a person, she is acting under the principle of autonomy. Beneficence is the duty to do good to others and maintain a balance between benefits and harms. Nonmaleficence is the duty to do no harm, and veracity is the obligation to tell the truth.
