We allow family to visit in our patient’s rooms, but if we are going to do anything with the patient that is going to cause them to be exposed, we ask the family to step out into the waiting room until the task is complete. In our intensive care unit, we admit all attempted suicide patients, patients with acute delirium, recreational drug overdoses and patient’s experiencing alcohol withdrawal. These individuals still require compassion and respect regardless of their mental capacities, financial status, lifestyle or social status. Coworkers need to be reminded from time to time that these patients are real human beings in a crisis of their life. Sometimes when nurses are busy trying to care for the patient, we forget to protect the patient.

Management and certain workers should acquire education on drug seeking behavior among patients and workers (Harldorsson 2007). Clinicians need to be taught about the regulations concerning control use of substances and the ethical rules and regulations that follow them. It is essential for doctors to understand their moral duty to their patients and to their employers. Cases concerning ethical violation tend to destroy the reputation of the employers (hospitals), ruining the name of the hospital. It is the work of the health practitioner to acquire knowledge on how to help a patient who gets control drugs from online pharmacies.

The patients would arrive with what we know today, as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (Silverstein, 2008). Peplau witnessed various experimental treatments these soldiers recieved, “...with horror.” (Silverstein, 2008, p. 725).
