In: Nursing
John J. is a school nurse at Jackson Elementary School, which
was built in 1960. Nurse John hasnoticed that many students from
Ms. Zee’s second grade class have come to the clinic
complaining about coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.
Nurse John has also observed that Steven Tea, the only asthmatic
student in Ms. Zee’s class, has had more asthma
attacks this year than he did last year. Because the rest of the
school is not experiencing the same respiratory problems, Nurse
John is concerned that something in Ms. Zee’s classroom is
causing students to feel ill.
Nurse John decides to visit Ms. Zee’s classroom. Upon entering the
classroom, one of the few located in the school’s basement, John is
struck by the powerful musty smell that inhabits the
room. While talking to Ms. Zee, John learns that the classroom has
“smelled bad for years,” and that students from previous years have
complained about respiratory problems. Nurse John notes that Ms.
Zee has stuffed a blanket at the base of the classroom’s small
rectangular window near the ceiling because the window does not
close completely. John suspects that Ms. Zee’s classroom walls are
contaminated with mold. Upon further research, Nurse John learns
that if water gets between the exterior and the interior of a
building’s wall, mold can grow in the moist environment. This
situation can occur as the result of construction defects in the
building (e.g., leaky windows). Nurse John also learns that people
who are exposed to extensive mold growth may experience allergic
reactions, such as hay fever-like allergy symptoms, and that people
who already have a chronic respiratory disease, such as asthma, may
experience difficulty breathing when exposed to mold. Nurse John is
concerned about the possible mold contamination effect on his
asthmatic student, Steven.
