The principle of beneficence is an ethical guideline that emphasizes the importance of acting in ways that promote the well-being and health of others. It involves actively working to do good, help others, and prevent or remove harm.

Overall, beneficence encourages us to act kindly, responsibly, and with the intention of improving the lives of those we serve.
