  1. A 12-year-old weighing 45 kg needs an epinephrine auto-injector. What is the standard dose?

    Answer: 0.3 mg

    The 0.3 mg auto-injector is used for children weighing about 30 kg or more.

  2. A conscious student with diabetes has a blood glucose of 58 mg/dL. Following the 'Rule of 15', what should the nurse do?

    Answer: Give 15 g of fast-acting carbohydrate and recheck blood glucose in 15 minutes

    Fifteen grams of fast-acting glucose followed by a recheck in 15 minutes is the standard treatment for mild hypoglycemia.

  3. Which approach is correct for a student with a suspected forearm fracture before EMS or parent transport?

    Answer: Splint in the position found, immobilizing the joints above and below, and check circulation, sensation, and movement before and after

    Splinting as found and checking neurovascular status prevents further injury and detects compromise.

  4. A student has a nosebleed. Which positioning and technique is correct?

    Answer: Sit upright, lean forward, and pinch the soft part of the nose continuously for 10–15 minutes

    Leaning forward prevents swallowing blood, and steady pressure on the soft nasal tissue controls most anterior bleeds.

  5. During a GI outbreak, which hand hygiene method should the nurse use after caring for a student with suspected norovirus?

    Answer: Soap and water handwashing

    Alcohol-based sanitizers are less effective against norovirus and C. difficile spores, so washing with soap and water is preferred.

  6. An unlicensed school staff member has been trained to give insulin. Which statement about delegation is accurate?

    Answer: The RN keeps accountability for delegating appropriately and must provide training, competency checks, and ongoing supervision per state law

    Delegation transfers the task but not accountability, and assessment and judgment stay with the RN.

  7. A student falls from playground equipment, complains of neck pain, and has tingling in the hands. What is the nurse's priority?

    Answer: Manually stabilize the head and neck in the position found and activate EMS

    Neck pain with neurologic symptoms suggests possible spinal cord injury, which requires immobilization and EMS.
