Health Services for the School-Age Child, 1989 [and] Supplement.
Oregon State Dept. of Education, Salem.
The purpose of these two publications is to help Oregon school districts develop and implement health services programs for students in preschool through grade 12. Section 1 of the primary text provides an overview of the school health program in terms of the state standard for health services, development of a school health services program, and health promotion. Section 2 describes general provisions of school health programs, including a positive learning environment, health counseling, the keeping of health records, health education, and guidelines for school-based clinics. Section 3 details provisions of school health programs in the areas of health appraisal, emergency health care plans, immunization, communicable disease control, medication, child abuse, and children with special health care needs. Each topical section begins with a statement of the school administrator's responsibility regarding the area of concern. The publication includes: (1) a copy of the Oregon School Health Record form and guidelines for completing it; (2) a copy of Oregon's Certificate of Immunization Status; (3) a chart of 32 common communicable diseases that includes information on symptoms, incubation period, mode of transmission, period of communicability, minimum exclusion time, and preventive measures; and (4) the Oregon Health Division's guidelines for schools with children who have Hepatitis B Virus or Human Immunodeficiency Virus infections. The supplement includes: (1) sample forms and letters which can be reproduced or adapted as needed; (2) information that was too lengthy to be included in the primary text; (3) a list of national and local health resource agencies; and (4) checklists, including a student's self-assessment checklist for anorexia nervosa and bulimia and the Taylor Hyperactivity Screening Checklist. A topical index groups contents in these categores: accident, allergies, anorexia nervosa/bulimia, asthma, blood pressure, clinics, dental, diabetes, exclusion, head injury, head lice, health intervention, hearing, hyperactivity, medically at risk, medication, neglect and abuse, physicals, scoliosis, seizures, stings, tuberculosis, and vision.
