This is essay discusses an ethical issue regarding patient care in a hospital. The case regards a female patient who has received a terminal diagnosis, but her daughter has requested that the mother should not be told. The scenario is presented, and the introduction focuses on providing an overview of the study. The discussion section concentrates on three principles, the principle of Non-Maleficence, the principle of Benificence, and the Principle of Denotology. These are discussed in order to assess what decision the health authorities should make in regards to the daughters request. The NMC guidelines, ethics, consent, vulnerability, and the right to autonomy are all also evaluated. The paper concludes by suggesting what the right course of action is.
