Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4

Warning signs of role strain that could indicate substance abuse include frequent tardiness or absenteeism, especially before and after scheduled days off, haphazard, shoddy charting, patient care judgment errors, and unorganized, erratic behavior. Mood swings are a characteristic of depression.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

The nurse has been convicted, so the state board in his or her state will investigate and take action including censure, probation, or suspension of the nursing license. An employee assistance program may be involved but will not investigate the conviction. With the conviction, the court system has taken action and would be in the county, not the state. The American Nurses Association will not be involved.
