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. They are not protocols for what needs to be done for each of several types of emergencies for any child. This is the Individual Emergency Plan (IEMP) which is developed from the IHP.
C Correct. Individual Health Plans (IHPs) are documents, based upon the nurse's assessment of the child, that outline the special needs, goals, interventions, and outcomes necessary to improve or maintain the health of the child and allow him or her to remain in school.
D 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.
