When a child is returning to school after an absence and needs medication or other therapies during school hours, who should be involved in the child's health plan?
1. Physician
2. Minister
3. School administrators
4. Siblings
3
Rationale:
1. During school hours, the physician does not need to be involved in the child's health plan.
2. The child or family's minister does not need to be involved in the child's health plan during school hours.
3. Because some children need medications or other therapies during school hours, the parents and child, school nurse, teachers, and school administrators develop a plan to manage the child's condition during school hours. This document is the child's individualized health plan.
4. During school hours, it is not appropriate or necessary for siblings to be involved in the child's health plan.
