Medical ethic and law

February 14, 2022

Ethical health principles are useful in guiding and regulating the relationship between the healthcare teams and the patient. They ensure each and every party gets satisfied with all activities that are taking place in the healthcare center. Among the ethical principles in healthcare settings are; Non-maleficence, Autonomy, proportionality, Beneficence, Health maximization, efficiency, justice, and fidelity. The principles that were followed include Non-maleficence, beneficence, and proportionality.

The highest level of principles was violated including, autonomy, health maximization, efficiency, justice, and fidelity. Non-Maleficence includes the obligation done by a physician that is important in ensuring a patient is not harmed. In our case, the physician first refused to resuscitate the patient because it was due to her own will but later he decided to perform it as it will not harm her.

Proportionality focuses on equity between the related parties. In our situation, it was followed as the physician wanted to ensure those two daughters receive equal and their desired treatment.

Beneficence includes making decisions that favor the patient. The physician decided to resuscitate the patient which was beneficial to the patient. Autonomy includes self-governing. For health care providers, they need to apply autonomy which includes making decisions for themselves. In our case, this principle was violated because the physician was not allowed to make decisions for his own through self-governing.

Efficiency involves making the work done within a very short period of time. In our case, the principle was violated as there was time wasted as the physician and the two daughters of the patient wasted time on discussion about what to decide.

Justice deals with fair treatment of the patient. for the patient, she had written an order not to be resuscitated. However, the physician was unfair in deciding to resuscitate the patient.

Fidelity works hand in hand with loyalty. A good relationship between a patient and healthcare teams should be loyal. The physician deciding to go against the will of the patient is the act of being disloyal
