Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. Team teach a class on healthy after-school snacks

The focus of case managers in schools is to provide services for the enrolled students that improve health care. Teaching a class on healthy after-school snacks would provide such a service. Meeting with the newspaper office or contacting the school board does not focus directly on improving the health of the students. Disciplining children in sports who do not adhere to weight-maintenance guidelines is a punitive action and would not be performed by the nurse. Chapter 60 Case Management
