Explanation

The given statement "Patient confidentiality means that we keep changes in condition a secret" is not correct because patient confidentiality refers to the protection of a patient's personal and medical information, not the concealment of changes in their condition. Patient confidentiality ensures that healthcare professionals do not disclose any sensitive information without the patient's consent, but it does not prevent them from reporting changes in the patient's condition to appropriate parties for their safety and well-being.

13. Which statement is false?

Explanation

The statement suggests that it is acceptable for Kia to do favors for the family as long as she isn't getting paid by her employer. However, this is false because it is important for healthcare professionals to maintain professional boundaries and not engage in personal favors or relationships with patients or their families. Mixing personal and professional relationships can compromise the quality of care provided and can lead to ethical issues. Therefore, it is not acceptable for Kia to do favors for the family, regardless of whether she is getting paid or not.

Submit
14. Select the reasons that professional boundaries are important.

Explanation

Professional boundaries are important for several reasons. They assure a therapeutic relationship with the client rather than a personal relationship, which is essential for maintaining professionalism and focusing on the client's needs. Engaging in an intimate relationship with a client can lead to legal trouble, as it is considered unethical and a breach of professional boundaries. Caregivers must treat all clients fairly to provide equal and unbiased care to everyone. Maintaining professional boundaries may also reduce allegations of caregiver misconduct, ensuring a safe and trustworthy environment for clients.

Submit

Always tell an individual what you are about to do, especially when performing personal cares.

Submit
