Ethical issues regarding substance use and abuse relate to behaviors of the user/abuser that present a risk to the self, coworkers, or the public. A nurse who diverts medication from a patient, thereby depriving the patient of pain relief, is acting both unethically and illegally. Other ethical areas of concern include property theft or damage and the general welfare of others. Kunyk and Austin (2012) considered that when nurses have addiction problems, there is always the possibility of compromised safety to patients. Nurses who are living in addiction have more options than ever with assessment and treatment that may not necessarily end their professional careers. Currently 37 states offer some form of substance abuse treatment program to direct nurses to treatment, monitor their reentry into work, and continue their licensure according to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
