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.

1. When the school nurse is unavailable, who is legally responsible for providing care to a child with diabetes? Explain your answer.

Discussion 2: The Role of the RN/APRN in Policy-Making

Word cloud generators have become popular tools for meetings and team-building events. Groups or teams are asked to use these applications to input words they feel best describe their team or their role. A “word cloud” is generated by the application that makes prominent the most-used terms, offering an image of the common thinking among participants of that role.

What types of words would you use to build a nursing word cloud? Empathetic, organized, hard-working, or advocate would all certainly apply. Would you add policy-maker to your list? Do you think it would be a very prominent component of the word cloud?

Nursing has become one of the largest professions in the world, and as such, nurses have the potential to influence policy and politics on a global scale. When nurses influence the politics that improve the delivery of healthcare, they are ultimately advocating for their patients. Hence, policy-making has become an increasingly popular term among nurses as they recognize a moral and professional obligation to be engaged in healthcare legislation.

To Prepare:

• Revisit the Congress.gov website provided in the Resources and consider the role of RNs and APRNs in policy-making.
• Reflect on potential opportunities that may exist for RNs and APRNs to participate in the policy-making process.

After reading the case study “I am feeling like I’m going crazy” (Walden University 2020), I identified some criteria that will support the diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Patient has been self-harming about ten months ago; he has been having insomnia; patient expresses anhedonia; low self-esteem; two suicide attempts; depressed mood; low energy, and . According to the American Psychiatric Association (2013), when five of these criteria causes the individual emotional social and occupational distress, and not related to any substance use, the diagnosis is major depressive disorder, severe. Although patient’s meets the criteria for major depressive disorder, the patient also displays irritable mood, which is criteria for diagnosing the patient with manic episode with irritable mood. However, the patient did not display any manic behavior and hence could not be diagnosed with this diagnosis. Also, the patient displays mood disorder which he could be diagnose with, but this is not due to any medical condition (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Hence the diagnosis of major depressive disorder , severe is patient’s diagnosis because patient meets the criteria for this diagnosis.

            For this client, the therapeutic approach I can use is cognitive behavioral therapy. Patient has irrational thoughts of not being supported, low self-esteem and has pressure of getting better grades in school. Irrational thoughts are the cause of emotional and behavioral disturbance that affects the thinking process of the individual (Ellis , 1962 cited by McGillivray, and Evert, 2014). McGillivray, and Evert. (2014), explained that cognitive behavioral therapy helps to change the irrational beliefs and thoughts into rational thoughts that will improve the mental health of the individual. In a research with teenagers of autism spectrum disorder, CBT proved to be effective when used for patients with depression and anxiety (Chalfant et al2007, cited by McGillivray, and Evert, 2014).

Counselors providing therapy to adolescent should make sure that they have the training and skills to do so. This is because knowledge in the treatment of adolescent will help improve mental health of adolescent. Research on the preparation of interns to work with adolescent shows that those who were trained and skilled in working with adolescents contributed more to the mental wellbeing of the adolescent than the unskilled and trained intern (Russ, 2019).

Another ethical problem that counselors faced with counseling adolescent is confidentiality. Adolescents will be at ease in talking to their counselors that to their parents, and they want that to be confidential between them and the counselors.
