(a) A juvenile
detention facility shall provide for the safekeeping, housing, care, and
subsistence of those juveniles admitted
7
AAC 52.400. However, if the admitting facility staff
member finds the juvenile to be unconscious or in immediate need of medical
attention, the admitting staff member shall advise the remanding or admitting
party to contact responsible medical authority. The admission process may not
be commenced until the admitting staff member is satisfied that the admittee
has received medical attention.
(b)
During the admission process, the admitting staff member shall determine
whether the admittee is in need of any medical attention by inspecting for
obvious injuries or illnesses, and by inquiring about any medical problems or
recent use of medication or unprescribed drugs. Juveniles who appear to be ill,
injured, or incapacitated by alcohol, narcotics, or similar agents, but not in
immediate need of medical attention, must be given medical attention as soon as
practical. A written record must be kept of the admission interview and health
inspection.
