Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

School nurses may coordinate the education program of the school and consult with school officials to help identify and care for other persons in the community. This includes coordinating health education initiatives, providing input on school policies and procedures, and collaborating with other healthcare professionals and community organizations. They also may provide basic first aid and emergency care, but they are not responsible for providing tertiary levels of care. They cannot allow students with communicable diseases to attend classes to prevent further spread of infections. While they may provide care to children who are home sick from school, this is not their primary role.
