Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure. I understand that, while my child is in the care of the YMCA, if a child is exposed to a body fluid on broken skin or mucous membrane (e.g. splashing in mouth or eye) from another child, the YMCA will contact the parents of both children. They will explain what has occurred, and provide the name of the attending physician of the source child to parents of the exposed child. If a staff member has a blood or body fluid exposure from a child, the YMCA will provide the name and telephone number of the child’s attending physician to the staff member. I have read and agree with the statement and specifically authorize the YMCA to release the name and telephone number of my child’s physician and a description of the event to the parent or guardian of any child who is exposed to blood or body fluid or to any staff member who experiences such an exposure from my child.
Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure. Anytime a nurse experiences a potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens (e.g., needlesticks), the nurse may seek and receive care as stated in the Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center exposure control plan, at Employee Health Service, or the Emergency Department in the event that Employee Health Service is closed. Such care may include a tetanus booster, HIV baseline testing, hepatitis testing, and/or prophylactic treatment according to the hospital protocol. An incident report shall be filed. Confidential follow-up HIV testing may occur with the nurse's consent at periodic intervals, based on national guidelines. Any proposed changes to the exposure control plan shall be reviewed by the Employee Safety Committee. Human Resources will share needlestick and on- the-job injury statistics with the WSNA LUC twice a year upon request.
