This invaluable resource will help you, your
administrators and consulting physicians develop
policies and procedures for safe student care.

The School Nurse Guidelines included in the
manual provide brief summaries of 89 conditions
that you encounter throughout the school year and
guidance on how to address each one consistently
and effectively. These guidelines were developed in
cooperation with physicians and will provide a solid
foundation on which to build your own guidelines.

Having written guidelines that standardize assessment
and care will help ensure consistent practice throughout your school and will minimize risk and liability.

• Provides expert guidance to aid sound policy and consistent practice
• Supports professional nursing judgement
• Aids nurses' communication with school
  administrators and local healthcare providers
