2. During the night-shift report, the nurse notes that a colleague does not seem to be able to stay
awake. Despite prompting, the colleague remains drowsy, and the nurse suspects substance
abuse. The nurse reports this to the charge nurse. Which of the following describes the charge
nurse’s responsibility?
a.
The charge nurse should fire the employee immediately.
b.
The charge nurse should send the employee home immediately.
c.
The charge nurse should send the employee for drug testing immediately.
d.
The charge nurse should suspend the employee with pay immediately.

, Feedback
A Incorrect—Firing the employee immediately would be premature and not
supportive. Firing is the role of the manager, not the charge nurse.
B Correct! The employee should be sent home immediately after being told the
reason for being sent home (that she is unfit for work at this time). The charge
nurse notifies the manager, who then has the responsibility to follow up with this
nurse prior to the nurse’s return to work, express concern, and offer support,
counseling, or medical treatment.
C Incorrect—Discussion with the employee must take place prior to drug testing,
as the employee may admit to the substance misuse. If necessary, the manager
would arrange for drug testing, not the charge nurse.
D Incorrect—Discussion with the employee must take place prior to any discipline.
If necessary, the manager would be involved with the disciplinary actions, not
the charge nurse.
