Question 4
The principle of ethics that means to do no harm is Non - maleficence. Autonomy is about self - determination, Beneficence is about doing good, and Justice is about fairness. So the correct option is the one with Non - maleficence.
When confidentiality is not followed, the principle of Autonomy (related to respecting a person's right to privacy and self - determination) is broken? No, wait, actually, confidentiality is related to respecting a person's right to privacy which is part of Autonomy? Wait, no. Wait, Autonomy is about the right of individuals to make their own decisions. Wait, no, the principle related to confidentiality is actually part of respecting a person's autonomy? Wait, no, let's recall: Autonomy is the right of the patient (or individual) to have control over their own information. So if confidentiality is not followed, the principle of Autonomy is broken? Wait, no, maybe I got it wrong. Wait, the four ethical principles: Autonomy (respect for the patient's right to self - determination, including privacy and confidentiality), Beneficence (doing good), Non - maleficence (doing no harm), Justice (fairness). So if confidentiality is not followed, we are not respecting the individual's right to control their information, which is part of Autonomy. So the correct option is Autonomy.
