Document Summary
Social networking and professional boundaries by joy don baker (article) Primary responsibility of the state boards of nursing to protect the public. Rns should practice within these four key elements: promote dignity of patients, seek patient independence and work for their best interests, abstain from inappropriate involvement with patients, refrain from personal gain at the patient"s expense. Know, recognize, and maintain professional boundaries of the nurse-client relationship. Rns can have their rn licenses revoked when they violate the rules. Rns are accountable for knowing the rules, recognizing the boundaries or limits of those rules, and then maintaining their client or patient relationships within those boundaries. Two types of social networking: egocentric: all connections center around me. The frame of reference is my network and my friends. Only employees from a specific setting may access the environment. Benefits and balance: advocating for patients, disseminating professional scholarly work for education, promoting evidence based practice and research initiatives.
