The ethical dilemma I would like to discuss is _Truth- Telling in Health care.

An example I have learned about in the literature regarding this ethical dilemma is – fill in the blank

An example I have learned from literature:

In the health care system, can lying be justified if it saves a life? Or if it can eliminate harm to a patient? This paper proposes that health care professionals should always tell the truth because it is a moral obligation. However, it does not refute the fact that concealing patients’ information can be used to prevent harm. It elucidates the value of telling the truth and the challenges encountered when telling the truth.
