  1. A student with a gastrostomy tube needs a bolus feeding at lunch. Before delegating this task to a trained paraprofessional, the school nurse must FIRST confirm:

    Answer: State nurse practice act and district policy permit delegation of the task

    Delegation decisions must comply with the state nurse practice act and district policy before training and supervision occur.

  2. Which of the five rights of delegation is addressed when the school nurse provides clear, step-by-step written instructions for a delegated procedure?

    Answer: Right direction and communication

    Right direction and communication means giving clear instructions, expectations, and reporting parameters.

  3. A student with sickle cell disease has a 504 Plan. Which accommodation BEST reflects nursing input on the plan?

    Answer: Unlimited access to water and restroom breaks

    Hydration and bathroom access help prevent sickling crises and are standard health-based accommodations.

  4. Which component distinguishes an IHP from an EAP?

    Answer: The IHP includes nursing diagnoses, goals, and interventions for daily care; the EAP gives step-by-step emergency response

    The IHP is the comprehensive nursing plan, while the EAP is a concise emergency protocol often attached to it.

  5. A student's IHP goal of independent glucose monitoring was not met by the target date. What is the school nurse's BEST next action?

    Answer: Reassess barriers, revise interventions or timeline, and collaborate with the student and family

    An unmet goal calls for reassessment and plan revision, not abandonment or blame.

  6. When writing the interventions section of an IHP, the school nurse should ensure each intervention is:

    Answer: Specific, evidence-based, and linked to a stated nursing diagnosis and goal

    Interventions should be specific, evidence-based, and directly support the goal for the identified diagnosis.

  7. Which federal law requires schools receiving federal funds to provide reasonable accommodations for students whose health conditions substantially limit a major life activity, without requiring special education?

    Answer: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act

    Section 504 covers students with disabilities who need accommodations but may not qualify for special education under IDEA.
