Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Screening of students for certain conditions; educating students, teachers, and staff; and developing emergency plans are all roles of the school nurse. Diagnosing acute illness and prescribing medication for a new illness are beyond the scope of practice for the school nurse unless the nurse is licensed as an advance-practice nurse.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: While size-appropriate equipment and lists of hospitals that treat children are essential parts of an EMS system, the aspect that is most indicative that EMS providers are actually prepared to take care of children is evidence of education related to assessment and emergency treatment.
