A diabetic client reports being terminated from their employment for using their glucose meter. Which law does this action infringe upon?

Choice A rationale
Insertion of a urinary catheter is a direct care intervention. It involves direct personal contact with the patient.
Choice B rationale
Reviewing discharge instructions with the client is also a direct care intervention. It involves direct personal contact with the patient.
Choice C rationale
Performing routine oral care is a direct care intervention. It involves direct personal contact with the patient.
Choice D rationale
Documentation of IV insertion is an example of an indirect care intervention. Indirect care interventions are performed when the nurse provides assistance in a setting other than with the patient. Examples of indirect care interventions are attending care conferences, documenting, and communicating about patient care with other providers.

Choice A rationale
Explaining interventions prior to performing them is a key aspect of patient autonomy. It allows patients to understand what is happening to them and gives them the opportunity to ask questions or refuse treatment if they wish.
Choice B rationale
While keeping patient information private is important and is part of the ethical principle of confidentiality, it does not directly support patient autonomy.
Choice C rationale
Bringing back medication at the stated time supports the principle of beneficence (doing good) and reliability but does not directly support patient autonomy.
Choice D rationale
Providing equal care to all patients is part of the ethical principle of justice, not autonomy.
