Thank you all for the helpful answers! So in IEP meeting the mom said the only "nursing concern" she had was that her child would have incontinent episodes sometimes because he would wait till the last minute to ask to use the bathroom. So from my understanding, I would write up a care plan for this issue. So far I have urge incontinence with some interventions such as: having a toileting schedule (every 2-3 hours) for this student, Keeping an extra pair of clothes in his backpack or office, and his 1 on 1 aide will assist with keeping to the schedule and help walking to and from the restroom. Am I on the right track?

Hello everyone, Today I had an IEP meeting for a student with behavioral issues. I'm so confused with IEPs and 504s. I understand they are accomadations for students but I'm not really understanding the nurses role. The other district nurse nurse had me get the parents signature on a HIPPA form so I can get medical info from his provider regarding his incontinence issues. Am I then supposed to write up a care plan for accomadations at school? They havent given me any me any sort of formal training and whenever I ask questions I'm not getting the answers I'm looking for. Someone please explain the IEP and the nurses responsibility with them?
