Ethics & Boundaries - Adhere to peer _____________ of ____________

• A. Peer Code of Ethics
• B. Patient Rights
• C. Confidentiality Agreements
• D. Professional Boundaries Policy

Answer: (A)

Adherence to a peer code of ethics sets the shared moral and professional expectations for how CPRS peers interact, support one another, and handle dilemmas. This document defines acceptable conduct, guides decisions, and holds peers accountable, which builds trust, safety, and consistency in practice. Other options describe protections related to clients or specific aspects of practice—client rights, client confidentiality, or a general boundaries policy—but they target clients or individual aspects rather than the mutual standards peers use to govern their behavior toward each other. So, the peer code of ethics is the best fit.
