The action by a nurse that best promotes the ethical principle of justice is **advocating for enhanced mental health services in an underserved neighborhood**.
The principle of justice in healthcare relates to fairness and equality in the distribution of resources and services. Advocating for improved services for populations that are underserved aligns with the ethical obligation to ensure that all individuals have access to the care they need, thus promoting social justice. The other actions listed are important ethical practices as well but are more focused on individual patient rights and informed consent rather than promoting justice at the community or population level.
