Answer

Explanation

“First, do no harm” is a core ethical principle in health care, including naturopathic practice. It means practitioners should avoid treatments likely to cause unnecessary harm and act in their patients’ best interests. The other choices describe unsafe or unethical conduct, such as refusing appropriate referrals or following laws only some of the time.
