Ethical principles form the foundation of healthcare practice in all settings. Autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice are the major ethical principles that govern healthcare practice. These ethical principles apply to the health care of aging individuals. Healthcare professionals working with the aging population often experience unique ethical challenges compared to working with people from other age groups. Ethical principles can guide healthcare professionals and inform appropriate practices to identify and overcome potential ethical challenges in caring for the aging population.
