CHC30113 - Excluding Ill Children From Care

[OldChook]

Hi, I was wondering if I have answered this correctly, I am a little stuck on part B 3 precautions, I know I have read this information somewhere, and now I can't find it again, feeling frustrated.

18. You are required to consistently implement the service policies for the exclusion of ill children.
a) Name five (5) infectious diseases that would cause the center to exclude an ill child.
b) List three (3) precautions you should take if you suspect the child is infectious.

My answer so far:

a) Infectious diseases that would cause the centre to exclude a child
i. Chicken pox
ii. Impetigo
iii. Measles
iv. Hand foot and mouth
v. Influenza

b)Precautions to take if a child is suspected to be infectious
i. Good hygiene practices (particularly washing of hands before and after touching of the child,) to minimize or prevent the transmission of infection.

ii. Isolate the child from others and keep the child calm, and contact parents as soon as practicable.

iii. Wash hands before touching another child.

am I on the right track do I need to add or delete or change anything, can you point me in the right direction.

Thanks! Kind regards OldChook
