As a School Nurse, you will be asked to deliver cultural competent, developmentally appropriate care to children of all ages. Take the issue of the ability to identify the need for an asthma inhaler (self-assessment), and then the ability to use the inhaler. Start with preschool and go through 12th grade. Describe the developmental basics of the age and apply them to their ability to recognize the need for the inhaler, and the ability to use it independently. Create a chart, a PowerPoint, a Prezi, or a paper with this information, ensuring the clarity of the information. Discuss the laws around independent use of the inhaler in your state. School nurses work with students of all ages, from preschool age through adolescence. In this module we will discuss the preschool, school-aged, and adolescence groups to review their normal development. Cultural competence is important in all areas of nursing. Depending on the area of practice, there are specific cultural considerations. This is the case for the school health professional as well. It is important to understand these considerations for a number of cultures.
