Design and methods: The study was a qualitative study. 11 children and 12 parents were recruited for individual or dyadic interviews and two focus groups with a total of 12 healthcare professionals were recruited through purposeful and convenience sampling procedures.
Conclusions: Changing the physical environment and composition of the team positively influenced the experience of anesthesia in pediatric cancer treatment for both children, parents, and healthcare professionals. Familiarity was important for all involved and familiarity was associated with continuity related to the physical environment, as well as the relational and procedural professional continuity. Parents expressed that they never felt good about anesthesia as there were feelings of leaving your child's life into the hands of others. However, familiarity in trusting relationships with healthcare professionals helped to moderate these aspects.
Practice implications: Familiarity should be considered important with continuity in trusting relations and collaborations between nurses and families, as well as between healthcare staff. Pediatric oncology ward is a preferred safe familiar setting for procedure-related anesthesia. Parents and children value individualized flexible nursing care, that takes the child's and parents habits and preferences into account during procedure-related anesthesia in pediatric oncological treatment.
Comfort interventions for children during invasive nursing procedures have been well documented in the literature. It is important, however, to distinguish between the provision of holistic comfort management and pain alleviation. Holistic comfort focuses on treating the child's whole procedural experience and includes more than simply reducing pain. In this literature review, 33 intervention studies were examined. These studies focused on evaluating comfort effects from nursing interventions on pain, anxiety, fear, and distress. Four themes of procedural comfort intervention emerged: music therapy, amusement and entertainment, caregiver facilitation, and a multifaceted approach. Important findings of this review, gaps in the literature, and implications for future research are discussed.

Information that addresses the procedures identified in this chapter is intended to be used as a guideline in conjunction with sound theoretical knowledge; medical research and evidence-based clinical references; collaboration with professional peers and expert consultants; and collaboration with students, educators, families, and caregivers.
The procedural guidelines delineate the general steps of physical health care activities and must always be used in conjunction with fundamental principles, standards, and safe practices recognized as vital to working with children with special or complex health care needs. Those principles, standards, and practices are reviewed in chapters 1 and 2, and should form the basis for planning, implementing, and evaluating all specialized health care services for students.
A chronic inflammatory disease that results in bronchial hyper-reactivity (bronchospasm), mucous production, and reversible airway obstruction. Successful asthma management is based on the four components of the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP):
These procedures may be performed by the school nurse, RN (registered nurse), or LPN (licensed practical nurse). Asthma monitoring may also be delegated to appropriately trained, unlicensed assistive personnel with supervision, evaluation, and feedback and an individualized care plan (IHCP) in place.
School nurses must ensure that adequate inhaled medication is being administered, all medication administered for as needed (PRN) or acute symptoms is accompanied by the appropriate respiratory assessment before and after medication, and encourage the use of a holding chamber/spacer with all medication administration using a metered-dose inhaler (MDI).
An allergic reaction occurs when the body releases chemicals in response to a specific protein found in some foods or the venom of an insect. These chemicals can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from relatively mild ones such as hives to severe life-threatening ones such as an inability to breathe, shock, and death (anaphylaxis).
Please refer to the CSDE's Guidelines for Managing Life-Threatening Food Allergies in Connecticut Schools for information on a comprehensive approach to allergy management in schools. This guideline is available on the Health Promotion Services/School Nurse Web site.
Blood glucose monitor, testing strips, sterile disposable lancet, automatic lancet or lancet pen (many diabetics use the same lancet for a period of time and keep that lancet in their pen), alcohol swab, cotton ball, or Band-Aid, disposal container.
This procedure may be performed by a school nurse, RN, or LPN. Blood glucose monitoring may also be delegated to appropriately trained, unlicensed assistive personnel with supervision, evaluation and feedback, and an individualized health care plan (IHCP) in place.
There are many different manufacturers of blood glucose meters. The school nurse needs to be familiar with each particular type he or she handles. Every blood glucose machine works differently, therefore it is important to read and understand the specific instructions that accompany the equipment, as well as having a plan for maintaining the device with quality control checks, cleaning, etc., to ensure the machine stays in proper working condition.

An indwelling catheter is inserted into the bladder to provide urinary drainage over a period of time from hours to weeks. It is attached to a closed drainage system that must be emptied periodically (AUA Foundation, 2011).
In general, other than emptying the drainage bag into a container and measuring the output, the only care required for an indwelling catheter in school would be if the student were toileted for a bowel movement, the area around the urinary meatus would have to be cleansed if contaminated with feces.
Most students with an indwelling catheter will not require care of it during the school day, however the school nurse must be notified if there is any evidence of infection; pain; skin breakdown; displacement or obstruction of the catheter; bleeding; or a change in urine consistency, color, or odor.
