The nurse is working with a child with multiple disabilities. The parents have asked the nurse to help them in meeting with the school board to develop an individualized education plan (IEP) and an individualized health plan (IHP).
 
  The nurse can best partner with families with children with special health care needs to develop the child's IEP by: 1. Providing a written list of the child's medical diagnoses for the IEP meeting.
  2. Offering to wait with the child while the parent attend the IEP meeting.
  3. Listening to the parents' concerns and complaints about the school district.
  4. Presenting verbally the child's cognitive physical and social skills to school officials at the IEP meeting.

Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale:
1. A list of medical diagnoses does not accurately inform school officials about the child's skills or needs.
2. Waiting with the child might be kind and empathetic, but does not contribute to an action plan for the child's educational needs.
3. Listening to the parent's concerns about the school might be kind and empathetic, but does not contribute to an action plan for the child's educational needs.
4. As an advocate for the child and a partner with the family, the nurse attends the IEP meeting and presents the child's functional skills to develop a comprehensive IEP.
