Answer to Question 1

C
Nonmaleficence is the principle of duty to avoid causing harm to others; it refers to both intentional harm and the risk of harm, which may be physiologic, social, financial, or spiritual in nature. Nonmaleficence requires that a nurse weigh potential risks and benefits of treatment or research, following professional and legal standards of care.

Answer to Question 2

A
Beneficence is the principle of promoting good and preventing harm to others; it is often viewed as the core of nursing practice. For example, a nurse encourages a client who had abdominal surgery earlier in the day to breathe deeply and cough to keep the lungs clear, while recognizing the procedure is painful to the client at this point in the postoperative recovery process.
