What your school nurse can do...

If the school nurse knows about your child's asthma, she can offer help in managing the disease at school. This may entail:

Providing you and your child with information about asthma and its triggers.
Helping your child stick to her or his action plan.
Coordinating observations of asthmatic students by parents, teachers and students themselves.
Helping students through asthma attacks.
Maintaining up-to-date medical records of your child and other asthmatic students.
