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.
