The principle of fidelity concerns the obligation of keeping one's promise or word. The nurse manager
in this example is keeping her word by making sure that all contracts have been completed and
payments are made on a timely basis, hence keeping her promise to do so. The ethical principle of
autonomy relates to a person's right to self-determination and respect for individual liberty. An
example of veracity would be to refuse to participate in any type of fraudulent activities, and to avoid
making paternalistic decisions for others is an example of respect for others.
