An Arab student new to an elementary school reports, "I don't want to go to gym class. It's never been a good class for me.". Which factor would be of primary concern for a school nurse?
a. The student's family's cultural beliefs regarding females interacting with males in public
b. Complaints from others of "bullying" that occurs in gym class
c. The student's problems adjusting to the new school environment
d. A concern that the gym class is overcrowded and too competitive
B
The child's complaint is vague. Although all the options are possible, the most common reason for a child to be resistant to a particular class relates to past experiences, such as having been a victim of bullying. This would be the most likely, and thus primary, concern. This option is the only one that reflects a safety issue.
