NRS 424.037 - Consultation with provider of foster care to explain plan for provision of care for child; addressing concerns of health, safety or care of child.
1. Before placing a child with a provider of foster care, the licensing authority shall inform the provider of the plans, if any, which the licensing authority has developed relating to the provision of care required for that child. If the plan for the child changes, the licensing authority shall inform the provider of foster care of the changes and the reasons for those changes.
2. The licensing authority shall consult with a provider of foster care concerning the care to be provided to a child placed with the provider, including appropriate disciplinary actions that may be taken.
3. If issues concerning the health, safety or care of a child occur during the placement of the child with a provider of foster care, the licensing authority shall:
(a) Consider the daily routine of the provider when determining how to respond to those issues; and
(b) To the extent possible, respond to those issues in a manner which is the least disruptive to that daily routine, unless that response would not be in the best interest of the child.
