Résumé ou Introduction
Obesity is one of the significant health issues facing American children. Over the past twenty years, childhood obesity has been prevalent due to unhealthy meals both at school and in homes. Notably, children spend most of the time at school and consume about 50% of their daily meals at school through federally-aided meal programs. This means that schools can play a key role to enhance children's health and should be a primary setting to minimize the issue of obesity.
The objective of this paper is to discuss the existing policies or legislation in progress for schools to prevent childhood obesity. The paper will also examine the impact of the policy on the nursing practice, the legislators involved, the role of the APRN, and how it facilitates the best outcomes
