54. A day into the camping trip, it appeared evident to Harry and the other staff members that the way the youth were grouped in the canoes needed to be addressed.  It was important that the entire group reach its travel destinations every day, and the group was falling behind its schedule further each day.  Although the youth all claimed to be “expert” canoeists, canoes frequently traveled in circles, arguments between the young people in the same canoe erupted about who was working harder, and a couple of times a paddle ended up floating away from the canoe in the water.  Harry and his staff discussed alternatives based on their observations and knowledge of the youth’s histories.  While the youth were initially excited about the idea of canoeing, it was evident that their attitude could deteriorate if there was no intervention by the staff members.  Which of the following courses of action is the best?

40. One day, the CYC practitioner, Laurie, noticed something moving on Ricardo’s head. When she examined it closely, she thought she saw head lice and nits in his hair, although she did not have much experience with these matters. She called it to the attention of the center’s director, who confirmed that she thought it was lice. The center director told Laurie to inform Ricardo’s grandmother, who usually came to pick him up, that she must get him checked out by the doctor before he came back to the center. Since it was only 45 minutes until the end of the day, the center director said it would be okay to keep Ricardo in class until the grandmother came to pick him up. The Red School House employs two bilingual CYC practitioners, but both were not working on the day that the staff discovered that Ricardo had head lice leaving no one able to communicate this to the grandmother.  What should the center director and Laurie have done about telling someone about the possibility that Ricardo had lice?
