Answer Choices:
Nonmaleficence.
■ Nonmaleficence is a core ethical principle in nursing that obligates the nurse to "do no harm" and actively avoid causing injury to clients.
■ It involves avoiding both intentional and unintentional harm, such as errors in medication administration or unsafe interventions, reflecting the nurse’s duty of clinical caution and protective care.
■ This principle is central to safe nursing practice and aligns with legal standards that prevent negligence, malpractice, or reckless behavior.
■ Nonmaleficence works hand-in-hand with beneficence but is distinct in its focus on harm avoidance, reinforcing ethical conduct in all client interactions.
