Signs of potential professional boundary violation
A professional boundary is a space existing between a patient's susceptibility and
the expertise of the care provider. Boundaries outline the accepted and estimated social
and psychosomatic distance between patients and physicians. They result from accepted
cultural morality. Therapeutic relations between a patient and a nurse should be solely
for therapy purpose and any deviation from this is a boundary violation. Many actions may
act as warning signs for this violation by the nurses.
Discussing intimate or personal issues with a client which are unrelated to a
nurse’s role or their care raises alarm (NCSBN, 2018). This may involve the provision of
personal information like phone numbers or personal emails which may bring any kind of
physical or emotional attachment. If a nurse comes to a point of getting involved with the
client's friends or family members away from the professional association, then that is an
alert that they are crossing their boundaries. Being secretive with a patient like giving
secrets about other patients and hiding from others your relationship with a particular
client also raises alarm for possible violation.
Showing favoritism to a certain patient often serves as a ‘red flag' to overstepping
boundaries when dealing with patients. This may involve spending unnecessarily more
time with a specific client. Meeting a client in settings other than those used for the
provision of direct therapy care or when not at the workplace is discouraged. Flirting with
the patients or having physical contact that is more than required may also lead to
violation of the set limits (NCSBN, 2018). One may not be aware when crossing the
professional confines but getting feedback from colleagues and others that certain
behavior is too intrusive serves as an alert.
Terminal sedation, rational suicide, and physician-assisted suicide.
These terms refer to the health care given to patients at the point of end-of-life. They,
however, differ significantly in their aim, how it each is administered and who administers
the intervention (Thomas, 2016). In terminal sedation, the main aim is to alleviate a
patient’s suffering by keeping them sedated to a point of unconsciousness. Rational
suicide aims at terminating life after a patient decides that it is the best option to do so.
