Is sexual contact with patients permitted for pharmacists?

  1. Yes, if consent is given

  2. No, under any circumstances

  3. Yes, but only outside the health care setting

  4. Yes, after a 1-year period post provider-patient relationship

The correct answer is: No, under any circumstances

Pharmacists have a duty to maintain a professional relationship with patients and their conduct must be ethical and lawful. Sexual contact with patients is prohibited under any circumstances as it constitutes a violation of professional boundaries and can lead to exploitation or harm of the patient. Even if consent is given or if it occurs outside of the health care setting or after a 1-year period, it is still unethical and prohibited. Thus, option B is the correct answer. Options A, C and D are incorrect because they suggest that sexual contact with patients may be permitted in certain circumstances, which is not true.
