Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Feedback
Correct Health screening such as vision, hearing, and growth checks can provide
information about problems that may affect the child's ability to learn.
School nurses are often the first to provide care for children experiencing
an unintentional injury, either on the playground or in the school building.
The nurse must assess children for illnesses that may be transmitted to
other children, provide care and isolation until a parent can pick up the
child from school. The school nurse can be a source of referral for families
in need of health care services.
Incorrect Seriously ill hospitalized children may require intensive care. Another role
appropriate for the school nurse is supervision of specialized care for
children with chronic health needs. School attendance by these children
may include the need for catheterization, gastric tube feedings, and
suctioning.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback

the child with ARDS.
