School Nurse Advocacy: The Dilemma of Ethical Interpretation Versus Legal Protection
1University Professor Emeritus of Education and Law Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA.
Abstract:
This article summarizes the facts and rulings of a recent, representative federal court decision concerning the legal claims of a school nurse who had engaged in advocacy for student safety, with particular attention to a student with insulin-dependent diabetes who committed suicide. The discussion of the court's rulings for the school nurse's various legal claims identifies the difference between ethical interpretation in terms of prevailing perceptions among school nurses and legal protection in terms of the current state of the case law specific to such advocacy.
