What will happen if you not working within the legal scope of practice?

If you operate outside your legal scope of practice, you risk facing legal consequences, such as fines, lawsuits, or loss of licensure. Additionally, providing services beyond your qualifications can endanger the health and safety of clients, leading to potential harm. It may also damage your professional reputation and trust within the community. Adhering to your scope of practice is crucial for ethical and safe service delivery.
