3.1. What illnesses and injuries are you most likely to see? Can you identify symptoms and recommended care?
I mostly see bumps and scrapes from playing and running on the playground. We also get the occasional bump from a friend. These injuries we treat with TLC, an ice pack and we document any mark or symptoms resulting. If it is severe or leaves a mark, we will contact the parent to inform them immediately.
We also get stomach bugs which we treat by sending the child home if they have runny bowels or are vomiting. If they have a fever we also require the family to pick them up and for all these cases they must stay home for 24 hours before returning after being ill.
