Case Result: Mitigating Evidence Proved No Impairment for LPN Who Accidentally Took Butalbital for Headache

Professional:
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

Primary issue:
Client LPN tested positive for butalbital at a pre-employment drug screening, but the LPN claimed to not have been aware of what was ingested. LPN had been having a headache the day prior, or perhaps even the same day, and a friend gave the LPN a pill. LPN did not know what the pill was and just assumed it was ibuprofen or aspirin.

Argument:
We argued accidental ingestion and denied impairment by providing mitigating evidence.

Result:
The case was dismissed without a finding.

Areas of Law:
Healthcare Licensing
Professional Licensing Defense
Substance Abuse & Impaired Practitioners
