Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• B. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• D. A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV

Hint:

Autonomy = patient choice, Beneficence = do good, Nonmaleficence = do no harm, Utility = greatest benefit overall

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Ethical principles in healthcare guide decision-making to ensure patient welfare, safety, and respect for individual rights.

Step 1: To bring greatest benefit and least harm.

• This refers to maximizing overall good outcomes
• Core idea of utility (greatest good for greatest number) Thus: \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Do not cause needless harm or injury.

• Fundamental ethical rule: “Do no harm”
• Known as Nonmaleficence Thus: \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Promote welfare of people.

• Actively doing good for patients
• Known as Beneficence Thus: \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Permission for self determining.

• Respecting patient's right to make decisions
• Known as Autonomy Thus: \[ D \rightarrow IV \]

Step 5: Final mapping.
\[ A\!-\!III,\; B\!-\!I,\; C\!-\!II,\; D\!-\!IV \] \[ \boxed{\text{Correct answer = Option (2)}} \]
