Ethical principles
Topic: Management
Core principles that guide decisions in health care: respect for autonomy (the right to decide for oneself), beneficence (doing good), nonmaleficence (doing no harm), justice (fair distribution of resources), fidelity (keeping promises) and veracity (truthfulness). When principles conflict an ethical dilemma arises; consult the professional code of ethics and, when needed, an ethics committee.
- Also known as:
