DISPENSING OF MEDICINES
A Medical Authorization and Release form must be filled out
and signed by the parent/guardian of a child giving permission
for any Ingleside staff member to dispense medicines (EpiPen,
Children’s Tylenol, Children’s Motrin, Children’s Benadryl or
topical creams only).
SPECIAL CARE PROVISION
Children under the age of six, who have been tested
“positive” to the AIDS virus, or have not been tested negative
by currently accepted medical standards but are the offspring of
an infected adult, will participate in the nursery or children’s
activities in a restricted environment (i.e., separate room with
a special care giver). Because bodily functions, sharing food,
biting, etc., are normally well controlled from age six,
children in either of the categories noted above are encouraged
to participate in appropriate age group activities. Our church
will seek to minister to restricted children through specialized
ministries.
Any parent may request in writing to the Minister of
Preschool that their child be placed with children receiving
special care.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF MEDICAL INFORMATION
If information regarding a child who has an immune
deficiency, whatever the cause, is made available to the
Director, the he/she will make this information available only
to those care givers who need to know in order to protect the
child against other infections. This need to know, however, does
not require knowledge of HIV status. Parents of children
enrolled in children’s programs shall not be privy to any
confidential medical information.
