A student in your clinical group seems very lethargic during pre-conference. You suspect she may have a hangover, since binge drinking has been a big problem on campus this year. When you talk with the student privately she tells you that she has recently been given a prescription for Xanax for her anxiety and depression. What action, if any, should you take regarding the student?
A) Insist that the student produce a copy of the prescription to prove that she has not been drinking.
B) Suspect that the student is lying and call security to escort her off the unit, suggesting to them that her blood alcohol level be evaluated.
C) Allow the student to continue with her clinical assignment since her lethargy is probably a side effect of the prescribed medication.
D) Require the student to remain off the unit until side effects of the medication are better controlled, providing for an alternate assignment.
E) Ask the student to explain the source of her anxiety to justify her need for this medication.
