Read the first 6 Macro Ethics, Professionalism, & Boundaries flashcards as text
A macro coach's client asks them to provide a letter stating that their macro plan is a 'medical diet' for insurance reimbursement. What should the coach do?
Answer: Decline, as issuing medical documentation exceeds the coach's scope of practice
Issuing medical documentation is outside a macro coach's scope of practice and could constitute fraud.
Which behavior best demonstrates professional boundaries in an online macro coaching program?
Answer: Setting clear communication windows and response time expectations in the coaching agreement
Establishing clear communication expectations in writing protects both the coach and the client from boundary violations.
A client shares that they are using a very low-calorie diet alongside the coach's macro plan without the coach's knowledge. What is the most ethical response?
Answer: Discuss the health risks, clarify the coaching scope, and recommend physician oversight
Coaches have a duty to address safety concerns, inform clients of risks, and recommend medical supervision when appropriate.
When must a macro coach maintain client confidentiality even under pressure from a third party?
Answer: Always, except when required by law or when there is risk of imminent harm
Confidentiality is a core professional obligation, with narrow legal exceptions such as mandatory reporting of imminent harm.
A macro coach notices that a long-term client seems to be developing a psychological dependence on the coach's daily approval. What is the most professionally appropriate action?
Answer: Acknowledge the dynamic with the client, adjust the check-in structure, and consider a referral to a therapist
Addressing dependency patterns directly and collaboratively while considering a mental health referral reflects professional responsibility.
A competitor contacts a macro coach and asks them to share information about mutual clients. What should the coach do?
Answer: Decline entirely, as client information must never be shared without explicit consent
Client data is confidential and may not be shared with any third party without the client's explicit informed consent.
