ANS: B
Nonmaleficence is the operative ethical principle. The student is ethically obligated to provide safe care to assigned patients. The instructor is also obligated to do no harm. Sending the student home and turning the patient's care over to staff is a safe alternative to allowing the student to care for the patient. Suspending or dismissing the student from the program does not permit the student to have due process.
