  2. Let’s Recap…Quickly! • “An invisible line that provides limits to a professional’s behavior that allow for a safe relationship with a patient based on the patient’s needs” (Fisher, 2008). • “Professional boundaries separate the therapeutic behavior of the nurse from any behavior, well intentioned or not, that could lessen the benefit of care to people…Boundaries give each person a sense of legitimate control in a relationship.” (ANMC, 2010)

  3. Let’s Recap…Quickly! • Child Life • Operating Principle 10 -- Individuals shall use integrity to assess and amend any personal relationships or situations that may interfere with their professional effectiveness, objectivity or otherwise negatively impact the children and families they serve. A minimum of two years following the conclusion of a professional role shall lapse before any personal relationship is permitted to develop with children or the members of families they serve (childlife.org, 2000). • Other Professions…no clear cut answers
