The school nurse performs screenings on all students in the middle school. In addition, the nurse will perform selected screenings on individual school-age children
When planning the screenings for the year, which screenings will the nurse include for all school-age children?
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. Hearing
2. Height and weight
3. Blood-pressure measurement
4. Hepatitis B profile serology
5. Chest x-ray
Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale: Routine screening for school-age children include hearing, checking for height and weight, and blood-pressure measurements. The hepatitis B profile is only needed once, prior to administration of hepatitis B vaccine; however, this is not a required screening for all school-age children. A chest x-ray is not a routine screening test for school-age children.
