A nurse who took drugs from the unit for personal use was temporarily released from duty. After completion of mandatory counseling, the impaired nurse has asked nursing administration to allow a return to work. When the nurse administrator approaches the charge nurse with the impaired nurse's request, which action is best for the charge nurse to take?

Meet with staff to assess their feelings about the impaired nurse's return to the unit.

Ask to meet with the impaired nurse's therapist before allowing the nurse back on the unit.

Allow the impaired nurse to return to work and monitor medication administration.

Since treatment is completed, assign the nurse to routine registered nurse (RN) responsibilities.
