1.You discover that another nurse on your
hospital unit has taken Valium from a client’s
medication supply. You confront the nurse
and she replies, “I’m under a lot of stress at
home. I’ve never done anything like this
before, and I promise it will never happen
again.” What should you do, and why?
2.In England, medical clinics provide daily
doses of drugs such as heroin at no charge
to persons who are addicted in efforts to
decrease illegal drug traffic and lower crime
rates. Is this an effective method? Would you
advocate trying this in the United States?
