A small school district cannot afford to employ registered nurses at each of its individual school campuses. Can this school offer health-promotion activities?
1. No; there must be a healthcare professional present for these activities.
2. It can only do so if the district employs a nurse consultant to plan the curriculum.
3. It can only do so if the district has access to preprinted curriculum approved by the state.
4. Yes; many professionals such as teachers can teach health-related topics.
Correct Answer: 4
Classroom teachers may include health-related topics in their lesson plans, for example, the way the normal heart functions or the need for clean air and water in the environment. Although a full-time health professional would be optimal for this district, others can also teach some content. Health based curriculums are available commercially, so there is no requirement that the school district employ a nurse consultant to write the curriculum. The school district can choose curriculum; it does not have to be approved by the state.
