Staffers working in case and care continuously have to make moral judgments and decisions. The actions of this profession have wide-ranging consequences, not only for people in need of care, but also for society. In addition, the ongoing developments in the different societies and the medical and technical sector raise ethical questions that impact case and care. This is especially true for geriatric long-term care, where ethical challenges are particularly demanding due to the specific nature of this branch of medicine. Case and care must promote its point of view within the context of the interdisciplinary dialogue on ethics in the health care system. Elaborating case and care ethics is therefore essential. Reconciling care ethics with practice in care asks for a gearing towards decent objectives and values as well as continual reflexion on general social conditions.
从事个案与护理工作的人员必须不断做出道德判断和决策。这个职业的行为会产生广泛的影响，不仅对需要护理的人，而且对社会也是如此。此外，不同社会以及医疗和技术领域的不断发展引发了影响个案与护理的伦理问题。老年长期护理尤其如此，由于这一医学分支的特殊性，伦理挑战格外艰巨。个案与护理必须在医疗保健系统伦理的跨学科对话背景下宣扬其观点。因此，阐述个案与护理伦理至关重要。使护理伦理与护理实践相协调需要以体面的目标和价值观为导向，并不断反思一般社会状况。
