Which provider is the most suitable to provide health care to school-aged children?
A) Parents and guardians
B) School nurse or public health nurse
C) Pediatric nurse practitioner
D) Family nurse practitioner
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.
