Managing Infectious Diseases in Child Care and Schools: A Quick Reference Guide, 2nd Edition

Edited by Susan S. Aronson, MD, FAAP, and Timothy R. Shope, MD, MPH, FAAP

Incorporating content from the AAP Red BookŪ and color images from Red BookŪ Online, this new guide helps out-of-home caregivers prevent, identify, and respond to the most common childhood infectious diseases. Written in concise, nontechnical language and spiral-bound for easy use, the guide provides a valuable new tool to help caregivers handle child illness and communicate with health care professionals.

The medical information is presented in an easy-to-understand style and tone. This new publication is meant to be a "bridge" publication that will allow pediatricians and child care workers to "speak the same language" and enrich the field of child care beyond the tools currently available.

Put critical child health information at your fingertips for fast, on-the-spot reference.

  • Infection control measures
  • Health promotion and hygiene
  • Sanitation, disinfection, and maintenance
  • Hand washing
  • Diaper changing
  • Signs and symptoms of the ill child
  • Inclusion and exclusion criteria
  • Caregiver health
  • Situations requiring immediate medical attention
  • And more
Softcover, Spiral-bound, 2008 - 200 pages
