The Guidelines for Care Manual provides professional school nurses with theory and clinical data, examples, procedures, guide sheets, training for delegation and monitoring procedures performed by school personnel, diagams and much more. A MUST for working with special needs students.
This book is a valuable resource not only for those health care professionals working in schools today, but also for special education teachers who work with children with medical needs in the schools. This boook is a must as more and more students with more involved special needs are being integrated into general education settings. I use this book as one of my texts in the graduate special education class I teach at the university and my students have remarked that it is a resource they will refer to often. The forms are valuable tools that can be used to address the needs of medically fragile children. I hope that the book is being considered for revision since it was first written in 1997.
This is a spiral bound notebook consisting of 394 pages including an extensive glossary and index. There are roughly sixty pages of checklists that are perfect for photocopying and utilizing on a daily basis.The formats for these charts are adapted from Children's Hospital Chronic Illness Program. Charts are organized with the student's name, person trained and position in the top left corner. The columns allow for six dates to be entered under the following headings, Name and Procedure, Preparation, Identifies Supplies and Procedure. Located within these sections are numbered specifics anywhere from five to twenty. Many of the lists are two pages with the final line for the parent or guardian to sign and date.My main purpose in borrowing Children and Youth Assisted by Medical Technology in Education Settings: Guidelines for Care was to learn the correct terminology for the variations used in tube feeding along with the precautions and tools needed. There are diagrams that show the placements of the tubes as well as the pump, feeding bag, syringe and clamp.Also listed are points to remember, observations and possible problems that require immediate attention and those that are non emergencies. There are step by step guides on how to change tubes, along with the clean up of the area and how to dispose of tools and waste. The pages with explanations have these listed in italic font.The details and diagrams help to grasp the enormity of this decision while explaining how the education system handles students with special health care needs. This book is the manual to help prepare all those involved in the daily lives of the children and also adults who must utilize these pieces of equipment.
I saw this book at a conference and decided I had to have it, not only for myself, but for any nurse substituting for me . What a great reference!
