First aid kit

(1) All staff members should be trained in basic first aid and Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation. A medical handbook should be at the facility for quick reference in case of accidents and other emergencies. (2) Each facility should have a lockable first aid kit to be kept out of the reach of children. The kit should contain antiseptic cream, cotton balls, applicators, thermometer, assorted band aids, sterile gauze, and hydrogen peroxide. (3) In case of accidents, the provider should take immediate appropriate action to ensure the safety of each child. All accidents should be documented, and the parents should be notified immediately.
