Nurse Aides

Our top and middle management initially received thorough training in group theory and group management techniques for organizational reasons. In daily shift meetings, nurse aides (NAs) learn some of the techniques and approaches, translating part of them to work with patients. From the moment we started to focus on the day-care center patients as a group to be managed every minute, we found that disturbances decreased significantly (based on empiric assessment by staff).

Minor Injuries

We appreciate commendations and valuable comments brought by Battaglia and Kiser regarding our analysis of injuries occurring in day care center versus home environment. They suggest a possible alternative interpretation of the data we report in the paper. In particular, they note the possibility that differences in exposure-adjusted injury rates among children in home versus day-care settings may result from differences in the propensity of parents and day care staff to seek medical treatment for children with minor injuries.

Toxic Reactions

A cluster of toxic reactions among children inadvertently given excessive doses of rifampin for chemoprophylaxis of invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease in a day-care center was investigated. In all 19 children, who received five times the therapeutic dose of rifampin, dramatic adverse reactions developed. A striking, "glowing" red discoloration of the skin and facial or periorbital edema were found to be the hallmarks of rifampin toxicity. These clinical signs of acute toxicity contrast sharply with the adverse side effects of rifampin reported with therapeutic doses.
