Professional Standards in Healthcare

 Construct your personal professional code of behavior. 

Description: Construct a 5–10 point personal professional code of behavior to include both ethical and 

legal standards for healthcare practice. As part of your assessment, a) compare and contrast your 

personal professional code of behavior with the professional code of ethics for your particular healthcare 

specialty and b) provide a rationale for why you included the points you did. Attach your created professional code of ethics and specialty’s professional code of ethics used as a comparison point to the appendix.

I work in healthcare similar to that of an LPN/LVN so any hospital or nursing professional code of ethics you can find will do...may jus have to be modifiied a little
