Description
School nurses provide care for students with acute and chronic illness, including medication and treatment administration; educating students to improve disease knowledge, increase independence, and their ability for self-care. The school nurse also manages both physical injuries and mental health conditions. They do this all in a setting with very few tools for assessment, limited privacy, scarce resources, and generally, very limited clinical support. In this learning activity, five body systems will be covered discussing their primary functions and associated diseases. • Gastrointestinal • Musculoskeletal • Genitourinary • Immune • Respiratory
Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize common pediatric gastrointestinal complaints.
  • Identify common musculoskeletal issues seen in the pediatric population.
  • Examine the male genitourinary system.
  • Discuss the immune system as well as the impact it may have on a student's health.
  • Discuss the respiratory system.
