Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation:
1. A child who is allergic to penicillin will not receive this medication anymore, and therefore should not encounter any problems related to it at school.
2. A child who has been treated for head lice can return to school, and does not need an IHP.
3. While a child who has missed 2 weeks of school will need to make arrangements for makeup work, an IHP is not needed.
4. An IHP that ensures appropriate management of the child's health care needs must be developed for a child newly diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation:
1. While the teachers may need to monitor a child's temperature while working at the center, this is not the priority topic for the nurse to include in the teaching session.
2. While the teachers may need to review immunization records for the children, this is not the priority topic for the nurse to include in the teaching session.
3. While the teachers may need to review and interpret the children's healthcare records, this is not the priority topic for the nurse to include in the teaching session.
4. It is essential that teachers know principles of infection control to decrease the spread of germs that can cause disease in young children; therefore, this is the priority topic for the nurse to include in the teaching session.
