Professional Boundaries
The appropriate limits which should be established by the nurse in the nurse/client
relationship due to the nurse's power and the patient's vulnerability. Refers to the
provision of nursing services within the limits of the nurse/client relationship which
promote the client's dignity, independence and best interests and refrain from
inappropriate involvement in the client's personal relationships and/or the obtainment of
the nurse's personal gain at the client's expense.

A zone of patient-centered care is in the center of the professional behavior continuum.


This is where the patient interactions should occur for effectiveness and patient safety.
Over-involvement with a patient is on the right side of the continuum; this includes
boundary crossings, boundary violations and professional sexual misconduct. Under-
involvement lies on the left side; this includes distancing, disinterest and neglect, and
can be detrimental to the patient and the nurse.
Rule 217.11. Standards of Nursing Practice
Know, recognize, and maintain professional boundaries of the nurse-client relationship
Rule 217.12. Unprofessional Conduct
