Standard #: 22VAC40-185-340-A Description: Based on interview with staff and observation of video documentation it was determined that staff did not always ensure children's care, protection, and guidance. Evidence: On 5/31/2019 at 3:51 p.m. in the two year old classroom Child A (d.o.b. 11/09/2016) is seen walking into the block area towards Staff A who is seated on the floor. Child A begins to disrupt some of the blocks in the block area. Staff A attempted to remove the child from the block area and is seen holding the hand of child A, pulling the child up to a standing position by the arm and guiding them out of the block area by the arm. Child A is then seen holding their arm and crying. Child A later goes back to staff A for comfort. After staff A notices that the child is continuing to display signs of discomfort, management and the parents were notified. Child A was later diagnosed with a dislocated elbow which is also known as "nursemaid's elbow." Plan of Correction: Staff were retrained on how to appropriately pick up and handle children between the ages of 1 - 4 years old. A handout was provided to staff regarding nurse maid's elbow.
