A nursing instructor explains that a good nurse must make certain that the professional nurse–patient relationship boundaries are never crossed. The instructor realizes that additional clarification is needed when a student nurse says:
1. "I must be careful to never get emotionally involved with my patients."
2. "I should avoid serving as the patient's advocate."
3. "I should never become physically involved with a patient."
4. "It is unethical to accept gifts or tips from a patient."
