Protecting Patients from Sexual Abuse and Sexual Misconduct

Document Type: Learning Module

Overview

Licensed Practical Nurses are educated to maintain professional boundaries and treat their patients with respect and professionalism. To protect patients, Alberta’s legislation provides health professionals with clear definitions of behaviours that constitute sexual misconduct or sexual abuse.

The self-study module, Protecting Patients from Sexual Abuse and Sexual Misconduct, is designed to provide LPNs with an understanding of this legislation and related Standards of Practice and Guideline on Boundary Violations.
