A nursing assistant is being called for assistance by a patient who speaks very little English. Because the nursing

assistant has a difficult time understanding the patient, the nursing assistant ignores the patient's call, figuring that
someone else will tend to the patient instead. Which ethical principle is the nursing assistant neglecting?
fidelity
beneficence
nonmaleficence
autonomy
