Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. Individual Health Plans (IHPs) are to the school nurse what a nursing care plan is to a hospital nurse, written by the nurse for individual students.
B Incorrect. Individual Health Plans (IHPs) are to the school nurse what a nursing care plan is to a hospital nurse, written by the nurse for individual students.
