A school nurse wants to design an in-school program to help improve the mental health of the students. What topic would be an appropriate choice that would affect the most students?
1. Weight control
2. Drug abuse prevention
3. Collaborative antibullying
4. Effective studying techniques
Answer: 3
Explanation: Approximately 30% to 40% of children and adolescents are bullied or bully others in their school years. A proactive, collaborative approach appears to have the greatest outcomes on changing bullying behaviors. Weight control, although it may have some self-esteem repercussions, is not a mental health intervention for a significant population. Drug abuse prevention is an important mental health intervention, but it would not affect the most students, as approximately 8% of the adolescent population estimated to use illicit drugs. Effective studying is an academic, not a nursing, intervention.
