The clinic nurse is working with a child with multiple disabilities. The parents have asked the nurse to help them in meeting with the school board in developing an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and an Individualized Health Plan (IHP)
The nurse may best partner with families with a special-needs child to develop the child's IEP by
1. providing a written list of the child's medical diagnoses for the IEP meeting.offering to wait with the child whilethe parents attend the IEP meeting.
3. listening to the parents'concerns and complaints about the school district.
4. presenting verbally the child'scognitive,physical,and social skills to school officials at the IEP meeting.
Answer:4
Rationale: As an advocate for the child and a partner with the family,the nurse attends the IEP meeting and presents the child's functional skills to develop a comprehensive IEP. A list of medical diagnoses does not accurately inform school officials about the child's skills or needs. Waiting with the child and listening to parents'concerns may be kind and empathetic but does not contribute to an action plan for the child's educational needs.
