Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Beneficence refers to taking positive actions to help others. The practice of beneficence encour-ages the urge to do good for others. The agreement to act with beneficence also requires that the best interests of the client remain more important than self-interest. The remaining options reflect truthfulness, keeping true to a promise, and doing no harm.
