A Incorrect. Medications that must be dispensed to a student at school should have written orders from their physician and written permission from their caregivers. Therefore, the nurse does not need to contact the child's caregivers.
B Incorrect. The documentation of the dispensation of medications should occur after the medication has been given, never before.
C Incorrect. The child's assent is not required, and the child will know the medication schedule in advance.
