Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. The child with asthma needs to have access to an inhaler when an attack occurs. Mitigating the effects of an asthma attack includes correct usage of the inhaler, so the nurse would need to assess the child's ability to correctly use the inhaler. ADHD medications are Schedule II medications and, as such, are not allowed to be carried by the child during school hours. A child with diabetes may not be able to use the glucagon in time should he or she become hypoglycemic, so the teacher should be able to know how to apply it. A child with a neurogenic bladder does not need medication to self-catheterize.
