This learning resource focuses on evaluating professional scenarios involving ethical dilemmas such as gift acceptance, favoritism, and social contact. Students will analyze situations where ethical criteria can help determine appropriate conduct, enhancing their decision-making skills within professional settings.

Each scenario is paired with action plans, justifications, and assessment rubrics to guide students in reflecting upon their ethical choices and the implications of boundary violations. The overall objective is to foster a deeper understanding of professional ethics and develop a robust framework for ethical decision-making.
