Ensuring that others feel worthy, honored or respected as individuals; ethically treating your resident/patient/client.

• A. Hospice
• B. Dignity
• C. Home Health
• D. Hospital

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is dignity in patient care. Dignity means recognizing and affirming the inherent worth of every resident, patient, or client, and treating them as valued individuals—honoring their preferences, privacy, autonomy, and comfort in every interaction. This ethical standard guides how caregivers interact, talk with, and respond to those they serve, ensuring they feel worthy, honored, and respected.

Hospice, Home Health, and Hospital describe settings or modes of care (where or how care is provided) rather than the ethical principle of how to treat someone. They are about care delivery and environment, not about upholding the intrinsic respect and worth of the person in every moment of care.
