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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
