Delegation decision tree:
Nursing delegation in the school setting is the assignment by the school nurse – not a school administrator – to a competent unlicensed individual (also called unlicensed assistive personnel [UAP]) the performance of a selected nursing task in a selected situation for an individual student. The school nurse facilitates the UAP training, evaluation of UAP competence, and provides for ongoing supervision of the UAP and evaluation of the student’s health outcomes. The nursing process can never be delegated (National Association of School Nurses).

- Pink eye (CDC)
- Infectious Disease Reporting- (Epidemiology)
- Germ watch - Intermountain Health GermWatch is a free tool that helps track and monitor the spread of germs in Utah. This can help nurses have a better understating of what is going around in the community.
Utah student injury reporting system
Utah’s Student Injury Reporting System is a voluntary statewide reporting program that helps collect information about serious student injuries in schools. The purpose is to identify injury patterns, support prevention efforts, and improve school safety.
Complete a student injury report when:
• the injury causes the student to miss one-half day or more of school
• the injury is serious enough that the student is evaluated by a health care provider
Report injuries that occur:
• during school
• during school-related activities
• on school property
• while traveling to or from school for school-related purposes
Important
• This reporting is separate from local school health office charting or student documentation systems.
• It does not replace routine nursing documentation required by your school or district.
The link below provides instructions for accessing and submitting reports through REDCap.
