Assignment task: As a safety aide at an elementary school clinic, you assist the district RN in verifying student immunization records. Letters are sent home to parents whose children are in need of immunization, and follow-up phone calls are made. Suspensions may be initiated after a 2-week grace period. Parents who fail to have their children immunized after suspension are then referred to the school social worker. You have just made the first follow-up phone call to Mrs. Gray about her son Grady, who is in kindergarten. Grady has a history of asthma but has not received the varicella vaccine. Mrs. Gray says, "I don't want him to have that one. Chickenpox is not that bad. They say those shots cause learning disabilities. I'd teach him at home, but I don't read too good."
Successful functioning in the role of the LPN/LVN as safety aide in the school system requires which key interdisciplinary skill?
You decide that Mrs. Gray would benefit from health promotion teaching on varicella vaccine. What information about Mrs. Gray must you keep in mind when planning your teaching?
