Updated Professional Boundaries in Psychiatric Nursing

The CRPNM has updated the previous practice direction on Professional Boundaries in Psychiatric Nursing to add a section on sexual boundary violations. The core of psychiatric nursing practice is the therapeutic relationship between the client and the RPN. Establishing and maintaining this professional relationship is the responsibility of the RPN, not of the client, and every act or behaviour of the RPN must benefit the client (CRPNM, 1999).
