SOLVED448

Charles Cullen breached his legal responsibility as a nurse to promote health and the safety of his patients. Stress levels associated with nursing responsibilities can be very high. In the course of the nursing profession, nurses often access medications with ease, and frequently prioritize the care of others over their own needs. The impact of drug diversion in the workplace has its repercussions. In the case of Charles Cullen, a nurse who deliberately administered insulin to his patients and killed them, is illegal and unethical. It is a priority and the responsibility of any staff to report any suspicion of drug diversion to management to stop them. Nonmaleficence states that one should do no harm (Yoder-Wise, 2019, p. 116). This was clearly violated by Charles Cullen as he intentionally gave insulin to his patients who probably did not need it or needed insulin but gave too much. For the nurse who is diverting, it is the possibility of criminal prosecution, loss of livelihood and license, overdosing, and death. For the organization, the impacts are numerous. There are liability concerns, both civil and regulatory, negative publicity that could damage the organization’s reputation, and large fines with the possibility of its license
