Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Reasonable suspicions of chemical abuse should be reported to a nurse's immediate
supervisor. Confrontation, either face-to-face or in a group setting, should normally be avoided.
It would be premature to contact the state board of nursing.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Ethics offers a formal process for answering the question about what one ought to
do in a given situation. Ethics is not considered to be simply an expression of cultural or
religious principles and it does not specify criteria for evaluating an individual's character.
