Moral dilemmas abound during health education practice and ethical decisions have to be made. This article examines the contribution of the four guiding ethical principles (respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice) to nurse decision making. Multidisciplinary ethical guidelines to assist health educators to serve the best interests of patients and clients are suggested.
