A male patient suffered a brain injury from a motor vehicle accident and has no brain activity. The spouse has come up to see the patient every day for the past 2 months.
 
  She asks the nurse, Do you think when he moves his hands he is responding to my voice? The nurse feels bad because she believes the movements are involuntary, and the prognosis is grim for this patient. She states, He can hear you, and it appears he did respond to your voice. The nurse is violating which principle of ethics?

  b. Veracity
  c. Utilitarianism
