You work closely with several people at your small clinic and have started meeting socially to have a few drinks. You notice one of your fellow nurses, Brad, tends to drink more than the rest of the group. He lives nearby, walks home, and never seems abusive, so you never mention it until one day as you are returning from lunch, you see Brad leaving a bar and headed back to work at the clinic. In the clinic, you return a patient record to Brad and you smell alcohol on his breath. He takes the record, smiles, and says, “Thanks. I needed this record. I’m seeing her in ten minutes.”
1. What would you do first? Why? What resources are available to assist you in addressing this situation?
2. Utilizing Provision 4, explain your responsibility in this situation. Incorporate the ethical principle of nonmaleficence into your answer.
3. If you were Brad, what is your responsibility in this scenario, what should he do, and why? What ethical principle or moral reasoning did you use? What part of your worldview was considered?
