Which statement is most accurate concerning middle-range nursing theories?

A. The right to privacy and unrestricted care:
The right to privacy is important, especially for individuals with HIV/AIDS due to the stigma associated with the disease. Unrestricted care ensures that patients receive the necessary medical attention and support without discrimination.

B. Self-determination and distributive justice:
Self-determination emphasizes a patient's right to make decisions about their own healthcare, including treatment options and end-of-life decisions. Distributive justice involves fair allocation of resources, especially relevant in healthcare to ensure all patients receive appropriate care.

C. Veracity and informed consent:
Veracity refers to truthfulness, particularly in communication between healthcare providers and patients. Informed consent ensures that patients have a complete understanding of their medical condition, treatments, and potential risks, enabling them to make informed decisions about their care.

D. Fidelity and option rights:
Fidelity refers to the principle of loyalty, honesty, and faithfulness in maintaining trust in the nurse-patient relationship. Option rights involve a patient's right to choose between different treatment options.

Living will: A living will is a legal document in which a person specifies what actions should be taken for their health if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves due to illness or incapacity. It outlines the medical treatments an individual would like to receive or not receive, particularly in end-of-life situations.

Client's Bill of Rights: This document outlines the rights and responsibilities of clients receiving medical care. It does not specifically contain a client's written wishes about healthcare decisions in case of incapacity.

Welfare rights: Welfare rights refer to the legal rights of individuals to receive assistance from the government, typically in the form of financial aid or social services, to meet basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare. This is not related to healthcare decision-making for incapacitated individuals.

Informed consent: Informed consent is the process where a patient is informed about the potential risks, benefits, and alternatives of a medical procedure or treatment. While important for medical decision-making, it is not the specific document where a client's written wishes about healthcare decisions are recorded for situations where they are unable to make decisions themselves.
