Balancing Beneficence and Non-Maleficence by Kathryn Ramirez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
What is Balancing Beneficence and Non-Maleficence about?
The document discusses the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence in medical ethics. It states that beneficence involves promoting patient well-being beyond just avoiding harm, while non-maleficence means "do no harm" and avoiding inflicting injury. However, doing only good and avoiding all evil is impossible due to limitations of time, abilities, and unintended consequences of actions. The principles must be balanced using proportionality and wisdom in practical situations.
