________________________________________________
IMPORTANCE
1. Code of Ethics makes the decision-making process

Three basic elements involved in the process:
1. The ability to decide
2. The power to act upon your decisions
3. Respect for the individual
VERACITY
• It binds both the practitioner and the patient in an
association of truth.
• The patient must tell the truth in order that
appropriate care can be provided
• The practitioner needs to disclose factual
information so that the patient can exercise
personal autonomy.
BENEFICENCE
• Acts of mercy and charity or any action that benefits
another or apply measures for the benefit of the
sick.
• One ought to prevent evil or harm
• One ought to remove evil or harm

between the practitioner and the patient.
INFORMED CONSENT
• The rule of informed consent directs that patients
must be fully informed about the benefits and risks
of participating in a clinical trial, taking a medication,
or electing to have surgery. It is always obtained
through a written form in situations such as clinical
research and surgery.
________________________________________________
PATIENT’S RIGHTS
