Which of the following is NOT a principle in the NCIHC code of ethics?

Advocacy
Professional Development
Dispute Resolution
Confidentiality

The correct answer is: Dispute Resolution

The principle of dispute resolution is not part of the NCIHC code of ethics. The NCIHC, or National Council on Interpreting in Health Care, emphasizes crucial ethical principles that guide interpreters in their professional conduct, including advocacy, professional development, and confidentiality. Advocacy refers to the interpreter's role in supporting the patients' rights and needs while ensuring effective communication. Professional development highlights the continuous education and improvement that interpreters must engage in to maintain competence. Confidentiality underscores the importance of privacy and the responsibility interpreters have to safeguard sensitive information shared during the interpreting process. In contrast, dispute resolution is typically associated with processes or mechanisms employed to resolve conflicts, which, while important in various professions, is not outlined as a foundational ethical principle in the NCIHC code.
