Of the following, which is the most ethically sound rationale for forbidding sexual relations between practitioners and clients?

a.Health care providers have a special relationship with clients. The client-provider relationship is harmed by the provider's exploitation. Inasmuch

as practitioners have an obligation to treat the needs of clients first, their own personal gratification cannot become a consideration.

b.Health care providers must avoid sexual relationships with patients because they need to protect their reputations and limit their legal liability.

c.Health care providers cannot afford to expose themselves to potential sexually transmitted diseases by having intimate relations with individuals

who are ill.This would render the provider unable to optimally practice because of illness.

d.This question is fundamentally flawed.Except in well-defined areas (such as having sex with underage patients, or with patients under

anesthesia who cannot consent) health care providers do not have any obligation to limit their choices of sexual partners.
