    I'm gonna go with A because it states "authoritative".  The Standards of practice are guidelines and not actual law.

    I believe it is D.  ANA/NASN are the authority on practice.

    My answer is A. The State is the authoritative level in providing policies and regulations for nursing practice. The other answers give recommendations and guidance on intervention in best practices.

    This question made me think about Local, State, and Federal levels of public health

    Hi all!  I am going with B since the student's physician will have the necesssary information needed for the nurse to understand health history and plan of care.

    I’m going with D. This is the most broad answer and is specific to school nursing.

    Hello everyone,

     I'm going to go with D.

    Here's why, 'Authoritative" is the key word. In the School Nursing Certification Review page 234, Standards of Practice for School Nursing Standard 1. Assessment it states. The school nurse collects pertinent data and information relative to the student's health or the situation.

    I would choose "D" School Nursing Scope & Standards of practice would be the authoritative "guide" for collecting health data for the school nurse. This answer is my first instinct. 

    I do think "A" could be correct as well but thinking nationally not locally.

    Hi,
    I say D. NASN/ANA have the authority to guide school nurse practice.

    I think this has been an interesting process, I could tell you were thinking. There is a more recent Scope and Standards and I will have to see exactly what that says.  If you think about your state NPA there is probably nothing in there about school nursing specifically, and the statement states for the school nurse, so that takes A out.

    Does the PCP know anything about collecting health data in school?, physical assessment data is only 1 piece, that leaves only D

     

    The authoritative guide for collecting health data for the school nurse is the

    A             state Nurse Practice Act.

    B             student's healthcare provider.

    C             student's physical assessment data.

    D            NASN/ANA School Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice.

                                                                                                                                                                                

    Correct answer = D

    Rationale: NASN/ANA Scope and Standards of Practice are the authoritative guide for school nursing practice. "The standards have practical and formal value in advocacy, decision-making, setting and describing professional values and roles...Meeting the standards and associated competencies provides evidence of a standard of care."

    A is correct because it's authoritative.
