Ethical decision making: The process of making informed choices about ethical dilemmas based
on a set of standards differentiating right from wrong. The decision making reflects an
understanding of the principles and standards of ethical decision making, as well as
philosophical approaches to ethical decision making. It requires a systematic framework for
addressing the complex and often controversial moral questions.
Ethical Model for Ethical Decision Making
E Examine the ethical dilemma (conflicting values exist).
T Thoroughly comprehend the possible alternatives available.
H Hypothesize ethical arguments.
I Investigate, compare, & evaluate the arguments for each alternative.
C Choose the alternative you would recommend.
A Act on your chosen alternative
L Look at the ethical dilemma & examine the outcomes while reflecting on the ethical
decision.
Bioethical standards: Bioethics is the study and formulation of healthcare ethics. Bioethics
takes on relevant ethical problems experienced by healthcare providers in the provision of care
to individuals and groups.
Bioethics Principles
Early founders of bioethics put forth 4 principles which form the framework for moral reasoning:
1. Autonomy: The right of an individual to choose for themselves. Refers to the individual’s
freedom from controlling interferences by others and from personal limitations that
prevent meaningful choices, such as adequate understanding. Two conditions are
essential for autonomy: liberty (meaning the independence from controlling influences)
and the individual’s capacity for intentional action.
2. Nonmaleficence: Doing no harm. Asserts an obligation not to inflict harm intentionally
and forms the framework for the standard of due care to be met by any professional.
Obligations of nonmaleficence are obligations of not inflicting harm and not imposing
risks of harm. (Negligence—a departure from the standard of due care toward others—
includes intentionally imposing risks that are unreasonable and unintentionally but
carelessly imposing risks.)
3. Beneficence: Actions performed that contribute to the welfare of others. Two principles
underlie beneficence: Positive beneficence requires the provision of benefits, and utility
requires that benefits and drawbacks be balanced. One must avoid negative
beneficence, which occurs when constraints are placed on activities that, even though
they might not be unjust, could in some situations cause detriment or harm to others.
