Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A current, signed parental consent form for administering the medication is essential for the stu-dent's file. The prescribed drug must have the original prescription label on it and be in the origi-nal container so that there are no errors. It is recommended that the physician contacts the school nurse or vice versa, but a signed order from the physician is not necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The school nurse's role is comprehensive and often involves coordinating activities, such as coor-dinating the school health program. A common misperception is that school nurses only put bandages on cuts and soothe children with stomachaches. However, that is not their major role. School nurses give comprehensive nursing care to the children and the staff at the school. At the same time, they coordinate the health education program of the school, consult with school offi-cials to help identify and care for other persons in the school community, and provide leadership in promoting health and safety.
