Activity Description

Drug and alcohol use disorders in the workplace are common problems; high prevalence in healthcare settings has increased awareness of the issue. When these disorders occur in healthcare settings, the risk of career-ending consequences and the potential for unintended harm to patients make this an issue of high importance. Coworkers, as well as members of the interdisciplinary team, should be able to recognize signs and symptoms of substance use disorders so that impaired practitioners can receive assistance. Helping other healthcare team members will improve patient safety and lead to better retention of healthcare providers. 

This activity reviews the different facets of substance abuse disorders found in the workplace, the rules and regulations in Florida's Nurse Practice Act for nurses regarding the use of alcohol and drugs as the basis for disciplinary actions, and the proactive Intervention Project for Nurses strategy the state of Florida is utilizing to address this issue. The crucial role of the interprofessional team in recognizing and helping coworkers who have substance use disorders is highlighted in this activity.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Determine the etiology of alcohol and drug-related impairment in the workplace.

  • Evaluate the presentation of alcohol or drug intoxication in the workplace.

  • Implement the management options available for alcohol and drug-related impairment in the workplace.

  • Identify the importance of improving coordination amongst the interprofessional team members to help recognize and treat individuals affected by alcohol and drug-related impairment in the workplace.
