Answer to Question 1
Ans: B
The most empathetic and informative response is recognizing the teen's fear. This response also establishes trust by letting the patient know what the nurse's responsibility is while also offering support by talking to the parents with the teen. Responding that the nurse won't inform the parents this time is incorrect because the nurse is legally bound to notify the parents if the child is in danger, as in the case of abuse.
Answer to Question 2
Ans: A
Public Law No. 108-377, the Asthmatic Schoolchildren's Treatment and Health Management Act of 2004, was passed by the U.S. Congress. This law is intended to ensure that students with severe allergies can carry prescribed medications such as an EpiPen with them at all times. The nurse must contact the school and inform them of this law so that the girl is allowed to carry her EpiPen on her person at all times. The school staff should be trained to recognize anaphylaxis, there should be an action plan on file, and the girl should wear a medical alert bracelet as well. However, the most important action is to notify school authorities of the law.
