A nurse is collecting data from a client who is in renal failure. The nurse should identify that which of the following findings is a manifestation of hyperkalemia?

Fidelity, also known as loyalty or faithfulness, refers to the nurse's commitment to keeping promises and fulfilling their responsibilities to the client. By promising to walk with the client in the outdoor courtyard each day, the nurse is demonstrating fidelity by maintaining their commitment to the client's well-being and providing the support needed to alleviate anxiety.

Autonomy refers to the client's right to make decisions about their own care and treatment. While the nurse's promise supports the client's autonomy by accommodating their preference for exercising in the courtyard, it is not the principle being demonstrated by the nurse.

Justice refers to fairness and equality in healthcare, ensuring equitable treatment and distribution of resources. While justice is an important ethical principle, it is not directly applicable in this situation.

Nonmaleficence is the principle of doing no harm and taking actions to prevent harm to the client. While the nurse's promise of walking with the client aligns with the goal of reducing anxiety, it is not specifically related to preventing harm.

Dependent personality disorder is characterized by an excessive reliance on others for decision-making and a fear of being alone or taking responsibility. Encouraging the client to be assertive helps promote their independence and self-confidence. It allows them to express their needs and preferences, make decisions, and take responsibility for their own actions. Empowering the client to be assertive can enhance their overall well-being and promote healthier relationships.

Limiting the client's social interactions may exacerbate their dependency and hinder their progress in developing more self-reliance and independent coping skills. It is important to encourage appropriate and healthy social interactions while also promoting the client's independence.

Maintaining a verbal no-harm contract with the client is a strategy more commonly used for clients at risk of self-harm or harm to others. It may not be directly applicable to the care of a client with dependent personality disorder unless there are specific safety concerns. Assuming responsibility for making the client's decisions would reinforce their dependency and enable their avoidance of taking personal responsibility. It is important to promote autonomy and support the client in making their own decisions whenever possible.
