   Hi, one needs to break the letter of the law in order to achieve the spirit of the law. - Branch of Philosophy w/c determines right and wrong Moral - personal/private interpretation from what is good and bad. Ethical Principles: Autonomy – the right/freedom to decide (the patient has the right to refuse despite the explanation of the nurse) Example: surgery, or any procedure Nonmaleficence – the duty not to harm/cause harm or inflict harm to others (harm maybe physical, financial or social) Beneficence- for the goodness and welfare of the clients Justice – equality/fairness in terms of resources/personnel Veracity – the act of truthfulness Fidelity – faithfulness/loyalty to clients Moral Principles: Golden Rule The principle of Totality – The whole is greater than its parts Epikia – There is always an exemption to the rule One who acts through as agent is herself responsible – (instrument to the crime) No one is obliged to betray herself – You cannot betray yourself The end does not justify the means Defects of nature maybe corrected If one is willing to cooperate in the act, no justice is done to him A little more or a little less does not change the substance of an act. No one is held to impossible Law – rule of conduct commanding what is right and what is wrong. Derived from an Anglo-Saxon term that means “that which is laid down or fixed” Court -body/agency in government wherein the administration of justice is delegated. Plaintiff – complainant or person who files the case (accuser) Defendant – accused/respondent or person who is the subject of complaint Witness – individual held upon to testify in reference to a case either for the accused or against the accused.
