Which situation is the best example of a conflict between the principles of beneficence and autonomy?

Beneficence means acting to promote a patient’s well-being, while autonomy means respecting the patient’s right to make their own choices. If a patient refuses a treatment that could benefit them, respecting that choice may conflict with the doctor’s aim of improving their health. So the best example is a patient choosing not to take a beneficial medical treatment.
