A 5-year-old child who has had a tracheostomy for several years is scheduled to begin kindergarten in the fall. The teacher is concerned about this child being in her class, and consults the school nurse. The nurse should:
1. Make arrangements for the child to go to a special school.
2. Ask the parents of the child to provide a caregiver during school hours.
3. Recommend that the child be home-schooled.
4. Teach the teacher how to care for the child in the classroom.

Rationale:
1. Public Law 94-142 and Public Law 99-457 ensure that all children with disabilities ages 3–21 will receive a free education. The child might need little extra attention while in the school setting, since she has had the tracheostomy for several years. The teacher should be taught how to care for the child, if needed, and taught the signs of distress. If needed, a health aide may be assigned to the child, but this is not the responsibility of the parents.
