This case illustrates the potential hazard of casually treating a friend for what looks like a benign condition. Resembling atopic dermatitis in its early stages, MF is the most common of a rare group of skin lymphomas. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for a better prognosis. Had this clinician complied with the request of her friend, his diagnosis would have been missed and timely treatment delayed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Implications for practice:<\/jats:bold>No matter what the prior relationship may have been, once a clinician treats a patient, a legally binding relationship begins, requiring the due standard of care. Nurse practitioners (NPs) need to be aware of the potential for error when treating acquaintances. Available NP standards of practice and ethical guidelines should address informal treatment situations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1745-7599.2008.00345.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,5]],"date-time":"2008-08-05T19:58:21Z","timestamp":1217966301000},"page":"389-395","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An uncommon skin condition illustrates the need for caution when prescribing for friends"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Ella","family":"Ares","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.288.3.381"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","unstructured":"American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.
