What does "conduct subject to reporting" include in the NPA?

  1. A. Personal opinions

  2. B. Social media posts

  3. C. Conduct that harms the healthcare institution reputation

  4. D. Conduct that causes a person to suspect that the nurse's practice is impaired by chemical dependency or drug or alcohol abuse

The correct answer is: D. Conduct that causes a person to suspect that the nurse's practice is impaired by chemical dependency or drug or alcohol abuse

The term "conduct subject to reporting" in the NPA refers to any actions or behaviors that suggest a nurse may be impaired by drug or alcohol use, which could potentially endanger their patients and colleagues. This includes not only direct observations of substance abuse, but also any evidence or indications of potential impairment, such as unusual behavior or performance. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they refer to personal opinions and publicly shared content, which may not necessarily indicate impairment and may not need to be reported under the NPA. It is important for nurses to be aware of this definition and report any potential instances of impairment to ensure the safety and well-being of their patients and coworkers.
