  3. Review the student's Individualized Health Care Plan (IHP) for other aspects of care that the student may need in addition to tracheostomy care.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. When a student with special needs attends a school, the student should have an Individualized Health Care Plan (IHP), which details the student's health history, identification of special needs, an overview of the student's basic health status, and information about any medications the student receives, including their administration, timing, dosage, etc. Other needs that are identified in the IHP include nutritional needs, activities with a care plan, and strategies for intervention. The teacher may become involved in the care of the student, but this is not the immediate priority nor is reviewing suctioning procedures. A joint conference may be called, but the IHP should be reviewed first by the nurse to determine its plan, complexity, and completeness.
