Some of things I would consider improving so the girl can get the adequate care she needs is organizing the drawer so the inhaler is easily located and making sure the person administering the medication is adequately trained. However, regardless if this is implemented there are many things wrong with this picture. First of all, why is there only one nurse shared by three schools? So let’s start by having a designated nurse per school. Next, making sure the nurse is up to date with her credentials and placing the nurse in a designated health care facility/bungalow on school grounds. The nurse would also be responsible for keeping track of all of the children’s medical records. I would think that if the nurse was on school grounds during an emergency crisis it would greatly reduce the number of dispatched calls to the emergency medical call centers which would perform a simple technique of administering a breathing medication which could have been done by the nurse if she/he was around. It’s very tragic that schools have to reduce their budget by designating one health provider for three schools. Especially since accidents are bound to happen often considering the amount of time children spend in school.
