QUESTION

Which ethical concept applies to the use of information technology in health care?

1. Autonomy
2. Free will
3. Diversity
4. Remembering

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 1

Mastrian, McGonigle, and Farcus (2012) elaborated on the basic principles that apply nursing ethics to the use of information technologies in health care. The concepts of autonomy, empowerment, accountability, and respect for the individual hold true for the practice of nursing informatics. Free will, diversity, and remembering are not considered ethical concepts.
