direction for professional growth. What ethical principle does this represent?
a. Justice
b. Fidelity
c. Beneficence
d. Nonmaleficence

principle, performance evaluation should emphasize an employee's good qualities and
give positive direction for growth. Destroying the employee's self-esteem and self-
worth would be considered doing harm under this principle.

and is most frequently deemed to be a negative or undesirable principle. Paternalism,

is taken away from the employee.
3. A patient refuses a simple procedure that you believe is in the patient's best interest. What
two ethical principles are in conflict in this situation?
a. Fidelity and justice
b. Veracity and fidelity
c. Autonomy and beneficence
d. Paternalism and respect for others
→ ANS: C
→ Autonomy refers to the freedom to make a choice (e.g., refuse a procedure), and
beneficence to doing good (performing a procedure that will benefit the patient).
