'Impaired Nurse'.....other reasons?

[suzy253]

Hi all.

I'm helping a friend doing a powerpoint presentation on the impaired nurse. So far it's going well but I wanted to add some medical reasons that may mimic the s/s of an impaired nurse. I've got a good reference for hypoglycemia.

In your experiences, do you know of any other medical conditions?

Thanks so much to the AN community!!!

Also, inner ear infection. We had a nurse with a severe inner ear infection who couldn't walk straight.
