While the intentions were sincere, Michael caused unnecessary upset to Marla. Always ask an individual if it is ok for you to touch them. Always tell an individual what you are about to do, especially when performing personal cares.Rate this question:

A. Caregivers treat all clients fairly
A. May reduce allegations of caregiver misconductExplanation
Professional boundaries are important because they ensure a therapeutic relationship with the client rather than a personal one. This helps maintain the focus on the client's needs and promotes their well-being. Engaging in an intimate relationship with a client can lead to legal trouble, as it is considered unethical and a breach of professional boundaries. Treating all clients fairly is essential to provide equal care and avoid any form of discrimination. Maintaining professional boundaries may also reduce allegations of caregiver misconduct, as it sets clear expectations and guidelines for appropriate behavior.Rate this question:
