Correct Answer(s)
A. Excessive personal disclosure by the nurse

The correct answer options for this question are excessive personal disclosure by the nurse, demeaning harassing of the patient, the nurse fails to recognize feelings of sexual attraction to the patient, and inappropriate amounts of time with the patient. These behaviors are considered boundary violations because they involve crossing professional lines of behavior and can compromise the nurse-patient relationship. Excessive personal disclosure can blur professional boundaries and shift the focus onto the nurse instead of the patient. Demeaning harassment is a violation of the patient's rights and can cause emotional harm. Failure to recognize feelings of sexual attraction can lead to inappropriate and unethical behavior. Spending inappropriate amounts of time with a patient can create dependency and hinder their autonomy.Rate this question:
