You are caring for a client in active labor. The client and her partner have expressed their desire for a natural birth and have declined medical interventions such as IV placement and continuous fetal monitoring. The client did consent to intermittent fetal monitoring. During the period of fetal monitoring, the RN notes repetitive late deceleration and fetal bradycardia of 90 BPM. The RN receives orders to initiate an IV Stat, and to prepare the client for an immediate cesarean section. The client declines to have the IV started and states she wants time to discuss the cesarean with her partner. Identify one ethical principle that directly applies to the client.

Her prepregnancy weight was 142 pounds (64.5 kg) and her BMI. Señora Mendez’s weight-gain progress has been poor due to nausea and vomiting experienced in the first half of pregnancy. Otherwise, Sra.
