In nursing school, the student learns that the nurse should always consider the possible outcomes of any nursing action taken. What ethical concept does this consideration support?

3. Autonomy model
4. Perception model
2
Rationale: The essence of therapeutic jurisprudence as it applies to nursing is that the nurse should always consider the possible outcomes of any nursing action. Slippery slope arguments are concerns that one decision may lead to it being taken for granted that other actions are also considered ethical. The autonomy model refers to protecting the patient's rights of autonomy. There is not an ethical model titled perception model.
