l)E4CtIBES SCOPE OF WORK
Educational and Preventative. Ind4l.
ildual Nursing Not Practicable.
There seoms to have been sonic
misunder.tanding about the duties of
the county nurse now employed by
the Red 'Cross chapter of Laurens
county. Naturally for so large a field
her duties are mostly educational and
preventative. A few of the duties as
laid down by the ilureau of Child Ily
giene of South Carolina, under iwhich,
with the co-operation of the Red
Cross, the nurse works, are the fol
lowing:
Mledical inspection of school chil
dren and when possible inspection of
Children of the pre-school age and
the follow-up work of getting the
necessary corrections made.
Control of tuberculosis and other
4 communicable diseases.
ilatabl ishment of a hea-lth center
whlere'-'nYthers imay go for'advice con
eerning themsel-ves and their children.
Supeirvision of bottle fed babies
that is, teaching the mothers by dei
onstration and advice how these ba
bles should be fed.
[Improvement of .birth-registration.
Control of midWives and through
them birt h-registration can be 11.4
proved.
Encouraging the use of,, iops in
new-bornii baby's eyes.
'Pre-natal care of chilren-thtat is,
encou raging mothers to place them
selves uinder' an intelligent physician
befor'e the birth of their children.
Cr1ippled and lame children also
claim a part of the- nurse's time as
nyvell as insanitary conditions in the
county which come uinder' no diriect
laws or supervision.
.With these dlutles laid (down, and(
they do not entirely cover' the work
of thie nurse, it enn r'eadily heC seen
that staying e~en one dlay with a sin
gle patient, whien thtere are so many
families who have an eqjual claim,
would make the educatitonal wor'k of
the nurse'5 imipossiblei .
