Every Day a Child Came into the School Nurse's Office

Every day a child came into the school nurse's office with vague complaints, but sometimes it seemed to the nurse that the child just wanted to talk and be listened to for a while. Unfortunately, the child took up almost 15 minutes of the nurse's very busy day. Which of the following actions should be taken by the nurse?

A) Ask a staff person to talk with the child so the nurse could complete required tasks
B) Continue to listen while assessing for possible underlying problems
C) Refer the child to a private physician for follow-up on the constant physical symptoms the child presented
D) Talk to the teacher about not letting the child leave the classroom unless obvious symptoms (fever, vomiting) of illness were present
