nonmaleficence
twofold duty to (1) do no harm and (2) prevent harm. It encompasses actual harm, risk of harm, and intentional and unintentional harm. Both the physicians' Hippocratic Oath and the nurses' Nightingale Pledge state that care providers have a duty to cause no harm to patients. Example: When you are careful to prevent medication errors or use an ambulation belt for assisting patients to walk, you honor the nonmaleficence principle.

Paternalism
Although viewed by some as beneficence, paternalism (treating others like children) can have negative consequences. For example, you will lose the client's trust if you coerce the client to act based on what you think is best, rather than what the client wishes. Saying, "Trust us; we know what is best for you to do in this situation," may seem to be beneficent because you are trying to support the client and relieve anxiety. However, this paternalistic behavior lacks respect for the patient's autonomy (and therefore represents harm).
