Beneficence is to purposely do good for the patient. It is making sure the patient is taken care of to the best of the nurse’s ability in all aspects of the patient’s health from their physical, social and spiritually well-being. Autonomy is the patient's right to make decisions without someone telling them what to do. Patient exercise autonomy all the time every year they must decide if they want flu shot or not.

If the nurse is talking to the doctor and we tell the doctor what we think is best for the patient but the patient does not want what that we would be in breach of Non-maleficence. Good communication is very crucial it can cause a patient to die if there was not good communication. When there are bad communication details could be missed and that could lead to
