PROFESSIONALISM

Professional Code of Ethics

• Builds confidence• Accountability• Liability

Merriam-Webster dictionary:

Professionalism is a way of exhibiting a courteous, conscientious and generally businesslike manner in

the workplace.

“Most relationships don’t become screwed up because one person is doing it wrong. They become unhealthy because two people spin off each other.”

-Elizabeth B. Brown,

Living Successfully with Screwed-Up People

Relationships: Personal vs Professional

• Purpose

• Balance of Power

• Focus

Challenging situations are often the delayed result of

professional boundary violations.

Becoming Personally Involved

• Sharing that shifts FOCUS from pt to professional

• Lose ability to respond objectively

• React emotionally

Gifts• Unit policy against

giving/receiving of gifts

• Protects pts from feeling that they need to pay extra for quality

• Protects staff from feeling they need to give extra attention

Showing Favoritism

Final Tips: How do you know if you are crossing a line?

• Allowed in other medical settings?

• Assist patient in care?• Can it be documented?• Willing to do for ALL

patients?

Document. Document. Document.

• Just the facts, Ma’am• What, Where, When,

Why, How, Who• If it’s not documented…

Healthcare workers are often nurturing and sensitive, thus

susceptible to the formation of intense personal relationships.
