[Solved] Justice Nonmaleficence Beneficence Autonomy

Welcome to Week 3. Ethical principles are integral to the foundational role of nurses. Knowledge and understanding of these terms will benefit you not only in this course but throughout the program and your nursing career. 

We’ll start this week by defining key ethical terms, and later this week, there will be a question or two where you can demonstrate how these terms influence nursing.

Define in your own words these key ethical terms. Keep your definitions simple. You should focus on the concept of these definitions because then it is easier to apply a concept to various situations.
