This part shall be construed and applied in accordance with the following principles:
(1) a principal should be able to:
(a) live in the manner in which the principal wishes; and
(b) make decisions about accepting or refusing support, assistance, or protection, as long as doing so does not cause serious bodily injury, as that term is defined in Section 26B-5-301, to the principal, or harm to others;
(2) a principal should be informed about and, to the best of the principal's abilities, participate in the management of the principal's affairs;
(3) a principal should receive the most effective, yet least restrictive and intrusive, form of support, assistance, or protection when the principal is unable to manage the principal's affairs alone; and
(4) the values, beliefs, wishes, cultural norms, and traditions that a principal holds should be respected in supporting the principal.
