What symptoms might Andrew have been displaying to alert you that he was unwell and
possibly had measles?
The symptoms displayed by Andrew that indicates he is unwell and could be suffering
from measles include rashes on the skin and being fatigue (Zipprich et al.2015, p.153).
What is the infectious period for this infection?
The infectious period for measles is occurring from the beginning of the prodromal
period, and this is usually about five days before the onset of rashes on the skin. However, the
infectious could continue until four days after the appearance of rashes.
Does Andrew need to be excluded from the center and is so, for how long?
The rashes on Andrew’s skin is likely to take about 14 days before they appear after the
exposure. It is also expected that the rashes will spread from the head to the trunk to the lower
extremities (Zipprich et al.2015, p.153). During such a period, a patient is considered contagious.
Therefore Andrew will be excluded from the center after the fourteen days.
Is immunization available for the infection that Andrew has? If yes, when is it usually given?
Yes, there is immunization for the infection that Andrew has. Any child aged between
zero to five years old are immunized against measles to enable to fight against the disease. The
immunization is usually done at the age of five years old.
List the infection control guidelines that you and your center staff should take to reduce the
spread of infection.

her skin within the first fourteen days (Zipprich et al.2015, p.153). The other control guideline is
education that involves advising the guardians and parents on the risk of infection and even
counsel them to look into the significant signs and symptoms after the first contact with the
infectious case. Also, they should be advised to self-isolate and inform the public health unit in
case the measles are consistent with measles. Another control guideline that could be used is the
identification of contacts that entails the tracing of contact with the aim of identifying all the
potential contacts. Such contact is required to help in the identification of individuals who are
susceptible to measles, and this includes, the pregnant women, immunocompromised people, and
the infants.
List everyone who needs to be told of Andrew’s illness?
The people who should be informed about Andrew's illness include, the parents, the
family members, classmates, friends, and even the teachers to enable them to be precautious
when handling him.
Do you need to fill in any forms/notices about Andrew's illness? If so, what forms/notices?
Yes, there is a need for filling forms to allow for the collection of information as well as a
record of critical information regarding the infection of Andrew. The forms or notices are those
that contain a filling of contact details, type of disease and the significant signs as well as
symptoms of the patient admitted in the hospital (Zipprich et al.2015, p.153).

Discuss how you would support Andrew’s emotional health needs until his mother comes to pick
him up.
To support the emotional health needs of Andrew will entail interacting with him, asking
him how he feels like a way of providing comfort to him. The other way to provide emotional
support to him would be by staying with him for a time before the mother comes to pick him up.
How would you respect Andrew's privacy while caring for him at the service before he is picked
up?
I would show respect for Andrew’s privacy while caring from him by keeping disclosures
regarding his infection as minimum as possible (Zipprich et al.2015, p.153). Another way would
be by anonymizing data, mainly where the unidentifiable data will serve the purpose.
Please research and list any relevant National Quality Standards and Learning Outcomes, which
would guide your response to Andrew's illness?
The National Quality Standard that would guide a response to Andrew's illness is Quality
Area 2 that is composed of the children's health and safety. The above mentioned National
Quality Standard aims to promote and safeguard the safety and health of children as well as
minimization of risks and protection of children from infection, injury, and harm. Every
particular child has the right to get quality care and education in a cool environment that offers
psychological and physical wellbeing (Zipprich et al.2015, p.153). Additionally, such an
environment should give support for the growth of a child's independence, confidence, and
competence, among others.

The first sign of tooth decay that one will notice in a child is when the teeth have a white
and dull band along the gum line. The other sign is the brown spots on the teeth as well as the
gums that appear swollen and red at the same time (Medeiros et al.2015, p.30). When the tooth
decay advances, there will be blackened holes in the teeth or even broke teeth.
List two ways oral health might impact on a child’s health and wellbeing.
With a poor oral, a child's health and wellbeing will be profoundly affected. For instance,
an oral infection that is severe will lead to difficulty in chewing; thus, the child will fail to eat
adequately (Medeiros et al.2015, p.30). Also, the child could have a modified diet that does not
contain the necessary nutrients required for proper growth as well as development. However,
with good oral health, a child is likely to have healthy growth and development.
Provide one activity or experience you could do with children in an Early Education and Care
setting to teach them about oral health.
One particular activity that I could do with children in an Early Education and Care
setting to teach them about oral health is having the children brush their teeth using a soft-
bristled toothbrush. This enables them to brush their teeth gently and thus avoid any injury or
pain (Medeiros et al.2015, p.30).
