Veracity is the principle of truthfulness in dealing with others. For example, if a client asks a nurse about data such as vital signs, it is the nurse's responsibility to provide these data to the client. In some instances, if a health care provider believes that providing truthful information may be harmful to a client, the principle of nonmaleficence would justify withholding the information.
