Protection of Patients from Sexual Abuse and Sexual Misconduct Standards

Purpose

Effective March 31, 2023

The purpose of these standards is to outline the minimum expectations for the nurse and their relationship with a patient in order to strengthen the protection of patients from sexual abuse and sexual misconduct by nurses. The HPA (2000) does not make a distinction between workplace or ‘after hours’ settings when referring to a nurse-patient relationship. The obligation of maintaining professional boundaries lies with the nurse, not the patient.
