In which situation will the school nurse collaborate with the family and other members of the healthcare team in order to develop an individualized health plan (IHP)?
1. For a child who recently developed a penicillin allergy
2. For a child who has been treated for head lice
3. For a child who has missed 2 weeks of school due to mononucleosis
4. For a child who is newly diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
4
Explanation:
1. A child who is allergic to penicillin will not receive this medication anymore, and therefore should not encounter any problems related to it at school.
2. A child who has been treated for head lice can return to school, and does not need an IHP.
3. While a child who has missed 2 weeks of school will need to make arrangements for makeup work, an IHP is not needed.
4. An IHP that ensures appropriate management of the child's health care needs must be developed for a child newly diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes.
