A 27-year-old woman with a 5-year history of schizophrenia is admitted to the hospital after being found by police under a bridge taking shelter from a thunderstorm. She has had several inpatient psychiatric admissions during the past 5 years but has always signed herself out. She has never been judged to be a danger to herself or to others. Although she has a small income from a trust fund and could afford to rent an apartment, she says that she prefers to live outside. She tells the physician, "The trees and the stars talk to me all the time. When I'm inside, I can't hear them. So I stay outside." She says that she does not take her medications as prescribed because they make her feel boring and dull. Physical examination shows no abnormalities. There is no evidence that she poses a risk to herself or others. Two days after admission, she insists on being discharged. Which of the following best describes the ethical principle that would underlie the physician's decision to discharge this patient? A) Autonomy B) Beneficence C) Fidelity D) Nonmalfeasance E) Objectivity
