The primary ethical responsibility of the nurse is to protect the clients' right to make their own decisions. The ethical principle of nonmaleficence means to do no harm. The ethical principle of beneficence means to do good. The ethical principle of veracity means to tell the truth.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3
Hurdles to evidence-based practice are the increasing complexity of science and technology and the variety of knowledge forms, many of which are not suitable for direct practice. Knowledge transformation, number of patient diagnoses, evidence summary, application of quality improvement are not considered impediments to the implementation of evidence-based practice.
