Question

Healthcare professionals maintain working relationships with each other by which of the following? Check all that apply.

attending meetings
attending patient funerals
attending professional conferences
making contacts at patient care meetings
advertising on the Internet

Answer 1

Correct choices:
- attending meetings
- attending professional conferences
- making contacts at patient care meetings

Rationale: Regular meetings, patient-care/case meetings and professional conferences are common venues for networking, collaboration and maintaining professional relationships. Attending patient funerals is not a routine method for professional networking (and raises boundary/privacy issues), and advertising on the Internet is aimed at outreach to patients/clients, not maintaining peer working relationships.
