The first option is correct.

Codes of ethics are written guidelines that outline the values, responsibilities and expected professional behavior for healthcare workers — how they should act and make decisions in the workplace. They are not secret, and while patients can use them to understand standards of care, their primary purpose is to guide professionals.
