_____________ refers to the belief that counselors should not cause harm to their clients.

A) Beneficence
B) Justice
C) Fidelity
D) Nonmaleficence

Nonmaleficence is an ethical principle that requires counselors to avoid causing harm to their clients. This principle is closely related to the concept of "do no harm" and emphasizes the importance of ensuring that clients receive safe and effective counseling services. While the other options (Beneficence, Justice, Fidelity) are also important ethical principles in counseling, they do not specifically address the issue of preventing harm to clients.
