The range of activities a professional performs based on training and experience is known as

• A. scope of ethics.
• B. boundaries of ethics.
• C. scope of practice.
• D. limits of profession.

Answer: (C)

In professional practice, the range of activities a practitioner is authorized and prepared to perform, based on training, credentials, and regulatory rules, is called the scope of practice. This scope is defined by licensing boards, professional standards, and educational requirements to ensure care is safe and competent. It governs what you can do within your role and when you must refer or seek supervision for activities outside your training. The other terms describe ethical boundaries or general limits, not the formal set of permitted clinical or professional activities tied to your qualifications.
