legal terminology
that is relevant for the nclex there are
certain decision making skills and some
terms that you just

build into that critical thinking
philosophy
it is high enough yield that is
important for you to

ethical principles you need to remember
these terms
and be able to effectively apply them in
certain situations
therefore it is not okay to just simply
memorize the terms
you need to understand them and be able
to identify
which situations are a breach of these
ethical principles
first one autonomy to act based on one's
professional knowledge
number two beneficence duty to
do good for others non-maleficence
obligation to do no harm to others
justice
fairness must be fair when treating care
to patients
and for others veracity obligation to
tell the truth
and fidelity obligation to do as one's
promise
here are some practice questions that'll
help enforce
what i just said number one when
designing a plan for pain management for
a post-operative patient
the nurse assesses that the patient's
priority is to be as
free of pain as possible the nurse and
the patient work together to identify a
plan to manage the pain
the nurse continually reviews the plan
with the patient to ensure that the
patient's priority is met
which principle is used to encourage the
nurse
to monitor the patient's response to the
pain
number one fidelity number two
beneficence number three
non-maleficence and four respect for
autonomy
number two a child's immune
immunization may cause discomfort during
administration
but the benefits of protection from
disease both for the individual and
society
outweigh the temporary discomforts which
principle
is involved in this situation number one
fidelity
number two beneficence number three
non-maleficence
number four respect for autonomy
number three fill in the blank the point
of the ethical pro the point of the
ethical practice is an agreement to
reassure the public
that in all ways the healthcare team not
only works to heal patients
but agrees to do this in the least
painful and harmful way possible
this principle is commonly called the
principle of
blank the answers for the questions are
number one the answer is fidelity number
two
the answer is beneficence and number
three the answer is
non-maleficence before i go on to
