Identifying substance use: an assessment tool for the school nurse.
A nursing assessment tool was developed to identify students who may be using drugs or alcohol. The three-part tool enables the school nurse to identify those students who require immediate medical care, as well as those who are impaired by substance use but medically stable. The use of the tool and implications for school nurses are discussed.
