2.A nurse is caring for a 12-year-old girl with a severe peanut allergy. The
girl's parents are upset because the school does not permit her to carry her
EpiPen with her. It must remain in the school's office per school
regulations. Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?
A) "She is allowed by law to carry her EpiPen with her; I will talk
to school authorities."
B) "Let's file an action plan and keep it in the school office in
the event of anaphylaxis."
C) "Make sure she wears a medical alert bracelet so that school staff
know she has allergies."
D) "I will be happy to train school authorities and staff to recognize
anaphylaxis." Ans: A
Feedback:
Public Law No. 108-377, the Asthmatic Schoolchildren's Treatment and
Health Management Act of 2004, was passed by the U.S. Congress. This law
is intended to ensure that students with severe allergies can carry
prescribed medications such as an EpiPen with them at all times. The nurse
must contact the school and inform them of this law so that the girl is

, allowed to carry her EpiPen on her person at all times. The school staff
should be trained to recognize anaphylaxis, there should be an action plan
on file, and the girl should wear a medical alert bracelet as well. However,
the most important action is to notify school authorities of the law.
