Ethics provide the fundamental ground to exercise professional role and moral obligations in a truly manner. The principle of knowing treatment and prognosis is the first question the majority of patients ask from physicians and nurses rather than diagnosis. It depends on the healthcare professionals how they are revealing the truth considering four ethical principles. Healthcare ethics has four basic principles autonomy, beneficence, non-malficennce and justice that should be considered under certain circumstances on ethical grounds. Healthcare professionals are usually exposed to these ethical principles while dealing with their patients and this requires certain qualities in them such as wisdom, knowledge, honesty, courage, compassion and so forth. The aim of this paper is to compare and contrast the four principles of healthcare ethics in relation to patient has a right to know about their disease and its prognosis. This relates to the scenario where a patient is diagnosed with an inoperable tumor and is terminally ill. The medical staff and the family insist that she is not to be told about her prognosis. The dispute between these four principles of healthcare ethics remains challenging for the physicians and nurses to balance with two pillars of evidence based knowledge and bioethics.
