Since the school nurse may not always be present in the school, the nurse develops Individual Health Plans (IHPs). These plans are best described as:
a. plans written by the caregivers as to what to do in an emergency, such as how to reach the health care practitioner and the caregivers and what can and cannot be done for the child
b. protocols for what needs to be done for each of several types of emergencies for any child
c. documents of health history, assessment, medications, equipment, possible problems, interventions, and emergency plan for each child with a health problem
d. written orders from health care practitioners on each child with a health problem

A Incorrect. Individual Health Plans (IHPs) are to the school nurse what a nursing care plan is to a hospital nurse, written by the nurse for individual students.
B Incorrect. Individual Health Plans (IHPs) are to the school nurse what a nursing care plan is to a hospital nurse, written by the nurse for individual students. They are not protocols for what needs to be done for each of several types of emergencies for any child. This is the Individual Emergency Plan (IEMP) which is developed from the IHP.
