| Description | Ethics is about choice, especially choice under uncertainty. It describes deciding what is the rightthing to do. Ethics involves weighing rights and wrongs. The standard medical model of ethics islargely grounded in applying four principles to make choices: respect for autonomy (allowing apatient to direct his care), nonmaleficence (doing no harm to the patient), beneficence (maximizingthe patient's welfare), and justice (treating equal patients equally) (1). An ethical decision refers to achoice that has these principles in proper balance. Book Name: Handbook of Dementing Illnesses |
