in health care practice.
-The importance of the relationship between ethics and jurisprudence in health
care practice is: You cannot work in a healthcare setting without an understanding of the legal
implication for both you and your patient. Therefore, as a healthcare worker you must adhere to
certain ethical standards and code of conduct. Although it may be the law that has the final say in
medical cases, ethics plays a large role in determining what the law says. And without these
guidelines, medical malpractice would go unpunished, and more importantly, lives would be lost.
