Policies of Care for Health
Do not assume that a child is healthy---assume that he may not be!
Establish requirements for health with parents that promote health
Provide appropriate medical formsConduct a daily health checkBe vigorous about hand washing for allUse universal precautions
![Page 10: Week 3: Health Issues. I’ve Never! 1. Give yourself 5 marks on your card. 2. First person shares name, where you live, and something you have never done](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e915503460f94b96eb3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Establish requirements for health with parents
Include stated and written policies on: What temperature is too much to be in care and how
long after fever (without a fever reducer) before children can return
What symptoms exclude children from care, including color of nasal drainage, vomiting, diarrhea, and rashes. Be specific by describing and telling how long after symptoms disappear before return.
How soon after notification that a child is sick must a parent come to pick them up before a late fee is charged.

Provide appropriate medical forms:
Permission to give medications. Remember don’t give even Tylenol or use antibiotic ointment unless you have written permission from the parent. A blanket permission for such things can be included in enrollment forms, but be specific about what products you will use.
Permission for emergency treatment. Include doctor to contact, hospital to take them to, and emergency permission to receive treatment for child. Have this notarized.

Conduct a daily health check
When children come into your home each morning do a quick, routine check including:
asking parent how their night and morning was including did they sleep and eat
feeling their head to see if they are hot check eyes and head for conjunctivitis and lice check their head, legs, and arms for rashes or signs of abuse when you change babies or toddlers check back for signs of
unusual bruises whether or not child seems lethargic, out of sorts, or is
behaving strangely. These checks should be done discretely if parents are there or
you can wait until parent is gone. With problems inform parent at once and isolate child if you think they might be contagious.

Be vigorous about hand washing for all.
Children should wash hands after toileting (even babies need their hands washed after being changed), after wiping their noses, using tissues, touching animals, going outside, and before eating.
Caregivers must do the same. Keeping a bottle of liquid hand wash that doesn’t require water handy and disinfectant wipes will cut down on germs.
Hands should be washed for a minimum of 20 seconds before rinsing. Identify a hand washing song such as ”The ABC song” or “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and have the children (and you) sing as they wash to make sure they take sufficient time. Be sure to wash back of hands, knuckles, between fingers and wrists.
Remember that when you are diapering and preparing food it is easy to spread disease so be extra vigilant about hand washing before food preparation.
