Abstract:
An assessment tool, "Assessing a Student with a Rare Disease," was developed by the Specialized Health Needs Interagency Collaboration program and introduced at NASN's 51st annual conference in Denver, Colorado. The goal of the tool is to support the school nurse as the medical expert in the educational setting by using a comprehensive prompt to gather information about the student's health condition and the possible impact on student's medical, cognitive, and behavioral needs at school.
