The nurse must consider professional boundaries when deciding whether to keep the tickets. Accepting such a significant gift from a former client could be seen as a breach of professional boundaries and could potentially harm the therapeutic relationship between the nurse and the client. Therefore, the nurse should consult with their supervisor or adhere to the policies of their workplace regarding gift acceptance.
