SOLVED1120

You will select the option that is NOT true about impaired nurses. All but one of the following statements reflect issues related to IPN (the Intervention Program for Nurses). The ANA Code of Ethics dictates you have an ethical obligation to directly confront a peer when you suspect they may be impaired. Prompt confrontation is critical if they are placing a patient at risk. RN’s are obligated to become educated to recognition of common signs of impairment.There are five (5) categories of behavior associated with drug & alcohol abuse, related to the RN’s attendance, performance, behavior, controlled substance use, & physical signs. An “alternative to discipline” program for nurses, such as Florida’s IPN, immediately removes an impaired nurse from the bedside. By comparison the “disciplinary programs” involved a slower process with a complaint moving through a State Board of Nursing process. The nurse has an ethical and legal obligation to report, using the chain of command, their suspicions about impaired colleagues. This must occur in a timely fashion, and be reported factually.
