Question

frances, a support worker, makes it a point to ask mrs. chan what she wants to wear. which principle of health care ethics is frances considering when she does this? ch:4 options: code of ethics, autonomy, justice, nonmaleficence

Explanation:

Autonomy in healthcare ethics emphasizes respecting a patient's right to make their own decisions (like choosing what to wear). Frances asking Mrs. Chan about her clothing choice respects Mrs. Chan's self - determination, fitting the autonomy principle. “Code of ethics” is a set of rules, “Justice” is about fairness, and “Nonmaleficence” is about not harming—none fit as well as autonomy here.

Answer:

B. Autonomy
