Abstract
This article describes a gap between ethics-in-practice and ethics-in theory; clinicians are often better at knowing what to do than articulating why to do it. This gap can go unnoticed until moments of moral distress. To reduce this gap, this article presents the four principles approach to medical ethics as a helpful framework when implemented carefully.
