Khloe saw the optometrist, was diagnosed with myopia, and received a prescription for glasses. Myopia (nearsightedness) describes the condition where individuals can see objects that are near well but have trouble seeing objects at a distance.

DEBRIEF
Khloe was diagnosed with myopia. Myopia (nearsightedness) describes the condition where a person can see objects that are near but have trouble seeing objects at a distance. This was demonstrated by her Snellen eye chart measurement of 20/40.
Visual health can have a great influence on students’ academic performance. An interprofessional care team of nurses, allied health professionals, and physicians must maintain a collaborative and communicative environment to achieve positive patient outcomes. In the case of Khloe, the school nurse recognized a potential concern with Khloe and referred her to the appropriate source for a comprehensive eye exam resulting in corrective lenses.

RECOGNIZING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH)
Health Care Access and Quality is an important part of school nurses’ referral network. By connecting students to health insurance and community resources, the parents, school staff, and community can work together to help meet the healthcare needs of students with chronic health conditions and those for whom the nurse’s assessment in the school requires further evaluation (CDC, 2021). The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) established a cooperative agreement titled Academic Partnerships to Improve Health (APIH) with the CDC. APIH focuses on improving the health of individuals and communities through alliances among academic associations and CDC. The APIH drives the improvement of health outcomes by:
- Working within the educational systems for nursing, public health, and medical students to enhance teaching of population health concepts.
- Aligning academic approaches (curricula, teaching materials, or methods) and field experiences with groundlevel public health priorities and practice needs.
- Fostering inter-professional collaboration and learning in health professional education.
- Strengthening academia’s linkages to public health practice.
- Providing opportunities for hands-on experience for students working with communities and public health partners (AACN, 2023). Recognition of the importance of population health is essential to decrease health disparities and improve the health of our nation.
