Ingleside Preschool Ministry
Infection Control Policy
and Procedure
|
|
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.
CONFIDENTAILITY 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.
