Discipline children in sports who do not adhere to weight-maintenance guidelines
Team teach a class on healthy after-school snacks
Meet with the newspaper office to run an article on school nursing
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
