CASE STUDY You are a charge nurse working the

evening shift on a busy pediatric unit. For the third time in 3 weeks, the narcotic count is incorrect at the end of the shift. You suspect that one of your coworkers may be diverting narcotics based on the following information: he has always been working when the count has been short, he calls in sick frequently, he has mood swings, and he tends to blame others rather than accept responsibility for his errors. There is no objective evidence that he is diverting the narcotics, just suspicion.
