Functions of School Nurses and Health Assistants in U.S. School Health Programs.
Fryer, George E., Jr.; Igoe, Judith B.
Journal of School Health, v66 n2 p55-58 Feb 1996

Results indicated that nurses were underused in school health education. Health assistants tended to administer medication and basic first aid, and nurses provided technically involved clinical services. (SM)
