Which term embodies keeping promises to the client?

• A. Advocacy
• B. Veracity
• C. Autonomy
• D. Fidelity

Answer: (D)

Keeping promises to the client centers on fidelity, the commitment to be faithful and trustworthy in the professional relationship. Fidelity means honoring agreements, following through on what you say you will do, and prioritizing the client's interests by being dependable. This trust-building aspect is what makes fidelity the best fit for describing the act of keeping promises. Veracity focuses on truth-telling, autonomy on respecting the client’s right to make their own decisions, and advocacy on actively supporting the client's best interests—each important, but fidelity most directly captures the behavior of honoring commitments you’ve made to the client.
