Legal and Ethical Issues

Legal and Ethical Issues: Questions and Answers

Katherine Pohlman, RN, MS, JD, Section Coeditors
Nadine Schwab, RN, MPH, PNP, NCSN, FNASN, Section Coeditors

This article, in Question and Answer (Q&A) format, focuses on legal concerns raised by practicing school nurses across the country. In this Q & A edition, four questions submitted to the Section Editors by JOSN readers are included, with responses to each. The main topics of the questions are (a) the rights of emancipated and mature minors; (b) the "rights" of nonnurse supervisors to direct or assume the practice of school nursing; (c) the right of a school district to exclude a student from a fieldtrip (versus the right of the student to participate); and (d) the right of a school district to change the level of nursing care provided to a special education student.

Key Words: anaphylaxis • complex medical needs (student with) • delivery of care • emancipated minor • fieldtrip participation • Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team • Individuals with Disabilities Education Act • level of care • mature minor • minor consent-to-treatment laws • school absence • scope of practice • Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act • supervision • unlicensed practice of nursing
