NCLEX-RN PRACTICE EXAMS WITH
VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A client asks why a diagnostic test has been ordered and the nurse replies, "I'm unsure
but will find out for you." When the nurse later returns and provides an explanation,
the nurse is acting under which principle?
1. Nonmaleficence
2. Veracity
3. Beneficence
4. Fidelity
- ANSWER-Answer: 4
Rationale: Fidelity means being faithful to agreements and promises. This nurse is
acting on the client's behalf to obtain needed information and report it back to the client.
Nonmaleficence is the duty to do no harm. Veracity refers to telling the truth for
example, not lying to a client about a serious prognosis. Beneficence means doing good,
such as by implementing actions (e.g. keeping a salt shaker out of sight) that benefit a
client (heart condition requiring sodium-restricted diet).
