    Ethical guidance for dementia care is complex. A Jewish ethical perspective, emphasizing interdependence and moral uncertainty, offers a framework for nursing actions when proxy decisions are needed.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Bioethics
    • Nursing Ethics

    Background:

    • Presenile and senile dementia present complex ethical challenges in nursing.
    • Traditional ethical concepts like 'sanctity of life' and 'quality of life' are inadequate for guiding nursing interventions requiring proxy judgment.
    • Existing ethical frameworks struggle to address the nuances of decision-making for patients with diminished capacity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore ethical concepts applicable to nursing actions in dementia care.
    • To identify limitations of current ethical principles in proxy decision-making scenarios.
    • To propose an alternative ethical perspective to guide nursing practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of ethical concepts in the context of dementia care.
