Correct Answer:

🟢 It involves distributing resources and care based on need, ensuring that all clients receive appropriate and nondiscriminatory healthcare.
🟢 Justice guides nurses to uphold ethical decision-making, especially when prioritizing care or managing competing needs.
🟢 This principle is foundational in professional practice and is consistently reinforced in both ethics education and nursing codes of conduct.
