Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Healthy People 2020 identifies four overarching goals: eliminate preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death; achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups; create social and physical environments that promote good health for all; and promote healthy development and healthy behaviors across every stage of life. Comprehensive school health programs should focus on delivering health services mandated by state laws and the individual school system as well as on health education. Additionally, both internal and external environmental issues are critical areas of assessment and intervention for school nurses.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The school nurse or the public health nurse, depending on the community, is ideally suitable to provide health care to school-aged children. Nurses with advanced preparation in child health, such as pediatric nurse practitioners and family nurse practitioners, are also well prepared to initiate partnerships with schools. An ideal model is one in which the school nurse or public health nurse collaborates with the advanced practice nurse. In this way, health promotion, disease prevention, and health maintenance are important components included within the delivery of health care. School-aged children are a captive audience, and their parents/guardians are closely connected to the school community. This situation makes the school community an ideal center for health promotion activities for the entire family.
