ANS: bA

Respect for people is one of three basic ethical principles that nurses and other health care
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


professionals should use as a basis for clinical decision making. Respect implies that clients are
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


treated as autonomous individuals capable of making informed decisions about their care. This
b b b b b b b b b b b b b


client autonomy is referred to as self-determination, or self-management, and is best illustrated by
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


allowing a client to decide to take medication with fruit juice rather than water. The other answer
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


choices would not illustrate self-determination appropriately and might possibly endanger the

The most important client-centered action is to ensure that the client is wearing his or her

glasses. The ability to see adequately will outweigh the need for family presence, use of printed
