Scenario: Rebecca - Medical Condition

[lisa51]

hi, I am having trouble elaborating on my answer for this question, any help would be much appreciated.

Case Study 1
Rebecca is a four-year-old child who is about to enrol in the pre-school room. She has a physical condition known as an ‘imperforate anus’. Imperforate anus is when there is no opening at the end of the digestive track where the anus normally is. This condition affects about 1 in every 5000 babies, and is a defect that occurs during the fifth to seventh weeks of fetal development. As a consequence, Rebecca experiences trouble with bowel control and continuously leaks fluid from her anus that can be quite strong smelling.
She has attended the service twice with her parents as part of the service’s orientation process and has spent time in the room with the other children. She has had bowel accidents on both occasions, which has been noticed and commented on by the other children. With one child saying ‘Does the smelly girl have to be in our room?’ This was asked in front of both Rebecca and her parents.

3. State how the Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics relate and can be used to guide your interactions with this child?

This is all I have for now,

By following the Early Childhood Code of Ethics In relation to children, I would have a better knowledge to support Rebecca and her family with her transition into pre-school.

Maybe you could add the Code Of Ethics that are also applicable...
