Explanation:

First Question (Removing Safety Hazards)

Nonmaleficence means "do no harm." Removing safety hazards prevents harm to the client, aligning with this principle. Justice is about fairness, beneficence is doing good, and autonomy is client self - determination. So the correct option is related to nonmaleficence.

Beneficence is acting to benefit the client (providing warmth and privacy here). Nonmaleficence is avoiding harm, justice is fairness, and autonomy is self - rule. This action is about doing good for the client.

Answer:

A. Nonmaleficence

Second Question (Bed Bath Privacy/Warmth)
