Abstract
Professional boundaries speak to the nature of the relationship, which exists between the professional and the receipt of health care services. Working outside the boundary creates confusion and ambiguity and consequently reduces effectiveness. Major boundary crossings can be devastating to the victim and to the nurse. It is critical that one must maintain his or her personal, organizational, and professional standard of conduct, being aware of the various pitfalls that exist that may lead to boundary violations. Being self-aware and aware of the patient is critical to maintaining appropriate boundaries.
