What is one of the ethical standards HOSA members are expected to uphold?

HOSA members are expected to uphold honesty and integrity in all health care practices because these values are foundational to the trust and credibility essential in the health care field. Upholding these ethical standards ensures that health care professionals act responsibly, provide accurate information, and maintain the welfare of patients above personal interests. When members embody honesty and integrity, they contribute to a culture of ethical practice that enhances the reputation of health care providers and ensures the safety and well-being of patients.

The other options reflect principles that do not align with the ethical standards of HOSA. For instance, competing at all costs or maximizing personal gain disregards the importance of ethical responsibility to patients and the public. Likewise, compliance with only local laws can lead to inconsistencies in ethical practice, as many ethical principles extend beyond legal requirements and emphasize the importance of universal standards in health care.
