A mother calls the school nurse saying that her daughter has developed school phobia. She has been out of school for 3 days. The nurse's recommendations should include which of the following?
A. Immediately return the child to school.
B. Determine the cause of the phobia before returning the child to school.
C. Explain to the child that this is the last day she can stay home.
D. Seek professional counseling before forcing the child to return to school. Incorrect
Answer: A. The primary goal is to return the child to school. Parents must be convinced gently, but firmly, that immediate return is essential and that it is their responsibility to insist on school attendance. The longer the child is permitted to stay out of school, the more difficult it will be for the child to reenter. This will only delay the return to school and inhibit the child's ability to cope. Professional counseling is recommended if the problem persists, but the child's return to school should not wait for the counseling.
