to do no harm or avoiding harm
I strive to provide a standard of care that is non-maleficence.
It is pronounced as "non-muh-LEF-uh-sens."
The four pillars of Public Health research are respect for autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence and justice.
There is no such a principle as non- beneficence. There are two main ethical principles of beneficence (do good) and non- maleficence (do no harm or in Latin, Primum non nocere)

The four principles of bioethics are autonomy (respect for individual's rights to make informed decisions), beneficence (duty to promote the well-being of patients), non-maleficence (do no harm), and justice (fair and equal distribution of healthcare resources).
It seems you didn't specify the list of options to choose from regarding the four principles. Generally, in various contexts, the four principles often refer to ethical frameworks like autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice in healthcare. If you provide the specific options, I can help identify which one is not part of the four principles.
A bioethical decision involves making choices about moral issues related to biological and medical advancements, treatment, and research. These decisions often involve balancing interests such as patient autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Bioethics provides a framework for exploring and resolving ethical dilemmas in healthcare and science.
Beneficene is an action that is done for the benefit of others. Whether one helps prevent harm or removes harm, ideally it is the protection of the rights of others and patients. Nonmaleficence is simple the act to do no harm. One must determine if the benefts outweigh the burden. There really is no specific difference as if these were opposite definitions. You must learn to use both together to perform optimum decisions
In the context of relationships between health care providers and patients, this is simply "doing no harm". The golden rules of medicine are "first do no harm, then do good wherever possible". Non-maleficence changes depending on the situation. Consider a patient with terminal cancer... while it would be beneficial to prescribe analgesia to ease their pain, non-malefience might suggest we should not prescribe too much pain killer in order to avoid overdose or interaction with other drugs. It's a pretty weak example but the four pillars of ethics (these two and "autonomy" and "justice") must be closely examined in clinical decision making, assuming you're asking about a medical context.
Medical ethics often involves balancing patient autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Ethical dilemmas arise when these principles conflict, such as when a patient's wishes may not align with what is medically best for them. Striking an ethical balance requires careful consideration of individual circumstances, cultural values, and the potential impacts on both the patient and society. Ultimately, ethical decision-making in medicine seeks to promote well-being while respecting individual rights.
