A student joins the school and the parent tells the nurse that the child has a learning disability. The nurse should ask the parent if the child has:
1. Other conditions that the nurse should be aware of.
2. An Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
3. Difficulty in making new friends.
4. Special equipment needs.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. A health restoration action is to prevent adverse effects of learning disabilities, so a new student with diagnosed learning disabilities should have an IEP to help the teacher plan appropriate teaching strategies. This will help the student learn as easily as possible. The nurse should be alert to any other conditions the student may have and any special equipment needs, but this is related to preventing complications and promoting adjustment. Information about the ability to make friends in a new environment is related to promoting adjustment, and is not a focus of health restoration.
