Part 1: Community Nursing
The school nurse has a unique role in the provision of school health services for children with special health needs, including children with chronic illnesses and disabilities with various degrees of severity. This case describes the role of the school nurse caring for a child with type 1 diabetes.
Susan has two students with type 1 diabetes in her school, one requires blood glucose monitoring and daily insulin injections, while the other has a continuous insulin infusion pump. The incidence of type 1 diabetes presents a complex challenge to school healthcare providers. Type 1 diabetes ranks as the second most common chronic illness in childhood, second only to asthma. The American Diabetes Association (ADA, 2015) reports that about 193,000 Americans under age 20 live with diabetes and 17,900 are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes annually, and another 5,300 with type 2 diabetes. Children with diabetes are considered disabled and as such are protected under federal laws that prohibit discrimination against children with disabilities. Studies show that the majority of school personnel have an inadequate understanding of effective diabetes management. It is best for the student to monitor blood glucose and respond to the results as quickly as possible to avoid possible complications.

A topic idea I would like to select for this assignment is hand hygiene. In our current pandemic, hand hygiene is imperative as to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus that has proven to spread uncontrollably if not managed. As healthcare professionals working in a hotspot setting for viruses and diseases, it is important for we nurse to advocate for the hand hygiene of both ourselves, other staff, and patients. Nurses are almost always in direct contact with patients and although some of the patients might be immobile, the nurses are. Without knowing it, we can transmit bacteria from simply touching our everyday items that might even follow us home. This is because, seeing as our hands are the parts of our body that come in contact with the outside world the most, we are always touching things that might not be clean enough before coming in contact with another object/person. Proper hand hygiene and techniques should be advocated for between staff and patients to ensure that everyone is aware of the accurate ways to both washes, sanitize and protect their hands from contracting bacteria. If done so correctly, nurses can drastically limit the number of bacteria, germs and viruses that are spread through poor hygiene.
