I might be taking it too literal, but I don't think this is incidental. I think this would be more like telling someone to search through a stack of medical records and hand the doctor yours. May I make a suggestion, since I think what your nurse does is wonderful. Instead of putting each child's name on the drawer with his serum, what about letting them choose a specific sticker with a superhero, rock star, shape, or something else on it. And that sticker is only theirs. They would be looking at stickers instead of names. Just a suggestion.

Technically, the child may see other children's names when he is searching for his.  But isn't that an "incidental disclosure" similar to hearing a name in the waiting room or seeing a name on a sign in sheet? I really don't want to discontinue this practice, as the children really enjoy it and it makes getting a shot palatable.  Any thoughts?
