The researcher proposes using information from the medical records of clients currently admitted to the nursing unit
The researcher wishes not to tell these clients about the study so that their behavior does not change. What client right does this idea most clearly violate?
1. Right of self-determination
2. Right to full disclosure
3. Right not to be harmed
4. Right of privacy and confidentiality
Correct Answer: 2
Right to full disclosure means that deception, either by withholding information about a client's participation in a study or by giving the client false or misleading information about what participating in the study will involve, violates ethical principles. Not telling the client that information is being used violates this right. Right of self-determination holds that the client should be free from coercion; right not to be harmed is the right to be free of exposure to possibility of injury; and right of privacy and confidentiality holds that the client has the right to participate in the study without private information being disclosed. Although these rights might be violated by this researcher's plan, they are not as clearly violated as right to full disclosure.
