Which principle requires providing fair treatment to all clients?

• A. Veracity
• B. Justice
• C. Advocacy
• D. Confidentiality

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is fairness in how services are provided to clients. Justice in professional ethics means treating every client with impartiality, ensuring access to care, and avoiding discrimination based on background, identity, or circumstances. It also involves making sure decisions and resource distribution are fair and based on need or appropriate criteria, not personal bias.

This is why the principle of justice is the best choice. Veracity focuses on honesty and truth-telling to clients. Advocacy is about actively supporting clients’ rights and interests. Confidentiality concerns protecting private information. While those are important, they don’t specifically capture the obligation to treat all clients fairly and equitably in every situation.
