Professional Boundaries

Read about professional boundaries in nursing.

Excerpt:

As health care professionals, nurses strive to inspire confidence in their patients and their families, treat all patients and other health care providers professionally, and promote patients' independence. Patients can expect a nurse to act in their best interests and to respect their dignity. This means that a nurse abstains from obtaining personal gain at the patient's expense and refrains from inappropriate involvement in the patient's personal relationships.
