The Belmont Report identifies three fundamental ethical principles in human research. Which of the following is NOT one of these principles?

A Beneficence

B Justice

C Veracity

D Respect for Persons

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

- The Belmont Report outlines three fundamental ethical principles: Beneficence (maximizing benefits and minimizing harm), Justice (fairness in distribution), and Respect for Persons (acknowledging autonomy and protecting those with diminished autonomy).
- Veracity (truth-telling) is important in ethics but is not explicitly listed as one of the core principles in the Belmont Report.
- Therefore, Veracity is not one of the three fundamental principles established by the Belmont Report.
