Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Supporting policies of zero tolerance for weapons on school property, facilitating student con-nectedness to the school community, and serving as a positive role model are all strategies that the nurse can use to prevent violence in the school setting. Student connectedness is encouraged if students play sports at school rather than with area clubs. Locking up and protecting personal property is not an effective strategy to prevent violence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP's) and American Heart Association's (AHA's) guidelines, the plan should address when to call 911 for local emergency personnel, education about standard precautions for staff members, and the role that children may play in providing basic first aid. Information related to how to maintain confidentiality and privacy of injured students is not part of the emergency plan. The location of the shelter areas is part of a school-wide emergency or disaster plan, but not for emergency plans for individual students.
