Nurse administrators can respond to the chemical abuse problem in one of two ways. They can deny it, ignore it, avoid confrontation, and terminate the employee. Such action jeopardizes both the nurse and patients. Alternatively, nurse administrators can deal with the problem by recognizing its prevalence in society, educating their personnel, providing support systems for staff, and establishing controls. By choosing this latter course of action, nurse managers evidence humanity and concern for patients, the profession, and individual practitioners.
护士管理人员可以通过两种方式之一应对药物滥用问题。他们可以否认它、忽视它、避免对抗并解雇员工。这种行为会危及护士和患者。或者，护士管理人员可以通过认识到其在社会中的普遍性、对员工进行教育、为员工提供支持系统以及建立控制措施来处理这个问题。通过选择后一种行动方针，护士长们展现出了人性以及对患者、职业和个体从业者的关怀。
