Explain why it's important to comply with the code of ethics for your profession

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Each health care profession has a code of ethics (standards by which a group decides the difference between right and wrong; behavioral expectations for people who practice in a given profession). Health care workers must not only display appropriate personal ethics, they must also be aware of and comply with the professional ethics established by their professional organizations. A code of ethics in health care works to protect patients from harm.
