SIGNIFICANT EXPOSURE OR INJURY IN A CLINICAL/LAB SETTING:
An exposure can be defined as a percutaneous injury (e.g., needlestick or cut with a sharp object) or contact of mucous membrane or nonintact skin (e.g., exposed skin that is chapped, abraded, or with dermatitis) with blood, saliva, tissue, or other body fluids that are potentially infectious. Exposure incidents might place health care personnel at risk for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and therefore should be evaluated immediately following treatment of the exposure site by a qualified health care professional. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) The following is a recommended approach for student reporting and instructor action should a significant exposure or injury occur during a clinical setting.
1. Student shall notify Clinical/Lab instructor.
2. Clinical instructor to notify Infection Control Nurse (exposures only)
3. Student proceeds to facility’s Emergency Department, signs in as a patient for treatment. If off site, the student should go to nearest hospital emergency department.
4. Clinical/Lab instructor to notify the Clinical Coordinator / Program Manager
via Voice Mail. 868-3418.
5. Clinical/Lab instructor to call Palm Beach State College Security for an incident report to be completed. 561-868-3600, day or night.
6. Clinical Coordinator/Program Manager notifies Safety and Security 868-
3487.
7. (Optional) Clinical instructor to call or page Dr. Landman for student counseling and follow up care for exposures only. 561-969-7900, day or night.
8. Student shall send a detailed e-mail to Clinical Coordinator / Program
Manager regarding incident specifics.
9. Clinical instructor to provide a copy of the insurance form to emergency registration upon student registration.

Paramedic Student Assistance Lab Referral Guidelines
• Once the plan is filled out, it should be placed in the top, middle slot of the mail boxes in the office. Clinical Instructors will fax.
• Clinical referrals are to be placed in the clinical referral box. • Any time a student is seen in an Assistance Lab and identifies
themselves as a remediation student, the form is used as reference for the problem identified.
• When a student participates in the remediation process, the Progress Report should be filled out as completely as practical and identified as meeting the expectations for remediation or additional remediation is recommended, by checking one of the associated boxes.
• Paperwork should be returned to the slot to be picked up by either the class Lead, OSE or Clinical coordinator.
• Leads, OSE’s and the Clinical Coordinator originating the paperwork should routinely check the box to follow up on their students’ progress throughout the plan.
• When a student has successfully completed any remediation plan as suggested by our program, the completed paperwork should be placed in their appropriate student file folder.
• Failure to attend a scheduled assistance lab will count as an absence.
• Once a clinical deficiency is identified, and the student has received sufficient remediation in the assistance lab, the student will have to be re-tested on the skill and successfully signed off in order to participate in further clinical rotations.
• Any questions an Instructor may have on any student can be referred to the Lead responsible for that student.
