The school nurse is implementing standards to manage students and provide a safe and healthy school setting. Which action is most important for the nurse to implement?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Develop an emergency plan for the school.
Rationale:
🟩 An emergency plan establishes clear procedures for responding to life-threatening situations such as cardiac arrest, asthma attacks, allergic reactions, or injuries.
🟩 Having a plan ensures that all staff know their roles, improving response time during crises.
🟩 Emergency preparedness reduces mortality and prevents complications, making it a top safety priority.
🟩 A school-wide plan strengthens coordination with EMS, ensuring rapid transfer of care when needed.
🟩 This action provides protection for every student, making it foundational to a safe school environment.
Maintain student immunization records
🟩 Important for disease prevention, but not immediately lifesaving.
🟩 It supports public health but does not address acute emergency situations.
Ensure that medical supplies are available
🟩 Supplies are only effective if a plan exists to guide their use.
🟩 Availability alone does not ensure appropriate emergency response.
Conduct annual student health assessments
🟩 Routine assessments promote long-term wellness, not immediate safety.
🟩 They are less urgent than establishing emergency readiness.
