treatment.

A. After a petition under the provisions of this article has

been filed, the court may order the child to be examined and

evaluated for medical issues, including behavioral health diagnoses,

by a physician or other appropriate professional to aid the court in

making the proper disposition concerning the child.

B. Whenever a child concerning whom a petition has been filed

appears to be in need of nursing, medical or surgical care, the

court may order the parent or other person responsible for the care

and support of the child to provide such care in a hospital or

otherwise. If the parent or other person fails to provide such

care, the court may, after due notice, enter an order therefor, and

the expense thereof, when approved by the court, shall be a charge

upon the county, but the court may adjudge that the person having

the duty under the law to support the child pay part or all of the

expenses of such care. In an emergency the court may, when health

or condition of the child may require it, cause the child to be

placed in a public hospital or institution for treatment or special

care, or in a private hospital or institution which will receive the

child for like purpose, and consent to emergency treatment or

surgery.
