Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Paternalism
Rationale:
🟥Paternalism occurs when the provider makes decisions for the client.
🟥It overrides the client’s autonomy and imposes the provider’s personal beliefs.
🟥 The statement directs the patient toward the provider’s preferred outcome.
🟥 Paternalism assumes the provider knows what is best, minimizing client choice.
🟥 This phrase is a classic example of influencing or steering a patient’s decision.
Fidelity
🟥 Fidelity refers to keeping promises, not overriding decisions.
🟥 It does not relate to pressuring a patient during decisions.
Justice
🟥 Justice involves fairness, not influencing patient decisions.
🟥 It is unrelated to directing treatment choices.
Veracity
🟥 Veracity requires telling truth, not imposing decisions.
🟥 This scenario is persuasive, not truth-based.
Nonmaleficence
🟥 This is about avoiding harm, not influencing choices.
🟥 It does not apply to steering decision-making.
🟥 Respect for others
🟥 Respect for others requires honoring autonomy, which this statement violates.
🟥 The scenario conflicts with this principle.
