David is a brand new school nurse, with prior nursing experience, and will be serving a population of 1000 students at Murphy High School. While David has a health tech in the office, he also is considering how he will ensure that treatments are provided for students with special needs requiring medical treatments and nutritional considerations. He does have access to a treatment nurse (licensed RN) that floats to his high school and can be utilized on scheduled occasions. Together, the three team members come up with a planning session in which they identify the top 6 sub-populations with medical and nursing care needs in Murphy high school.
1) special needs students
a. students that require tube feedings or other nutritional considerations
b. students that require toileting assistance
c. students that require regular medication administration during school hours
2) childbearing students
a. antepartum/prenatal
b. postpartum
3) students with asthma
4) students with diabetes
a. students that require blood glucose checks and treatment
5) students with mental health needs
6) students with physical injuries
Assignment directions:
Please draw your own concept map of a high school school nurse role, including associations to the 6 sub-populations above, and listing out most probable/most common nursing interventions of primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. You may add other influencing factors that may be unique to a high school population of students.

J. S. is 23 years old. He was brought to the emergency department after an auto accident. He suffered a concussion and a deep laceration of his right thigh. He lost about 4 units of blood prior to effective control of bleeding and closure of the wound. Fluid resuscitation is initiated, and a urinary catheter is inserted post operation to monitor his urine output. However, he continues to have significant oozing from his sutured wound.
His 24-hour urine volume is 350 ml with a high urine osmolality and low urine sodium. A coagulation screen results indicate the following: platelet count 250,000, bleeding time and a PTT time are both extended.
