A 16-year-old client has a long leg cast secondary to a fractured femur. To effectively facilitate the adolescent’s return to school, the school nurse should
1. Meet with teachers and administrators at the school to make sure entrances and classrooms are wheelchair accessible.
2. Develop an individualized health plan (IHP) that focuses on long-term needs of the adolescent.
3. Prior to the student’s return to school, meet with all of the other students to emphasize the special needs of the injured teen.
4. Meet with parents of the injured student to encourage homebound schooling until a short leg cast is applied.

Rationale 1: An adolescent with a long leg cast secondary to a fractured femur will be dependent on a wheelchair for mobility. It is essential that the environment be wheelchair accessible prior to the adolescent’s return to school. While an IHP might be developed, short-term needs would be the focus. It is not necessary to meet all of the students to discuss the adolescent’s needs. There is no reason to encourage the adolescent to stay at home for schooling if he is ready to return.
