Responsibility Chief School Nurse Approval Authority Director, Special Services Definitions AIE: Auto-injectable Epinephrine Individually-prescribed, Auto-injectable Epinephrine: A pre-measured dose of epinephrine prescribed for a specific student by his/her personal medical provider NAC: Nevada Administrative Code NRS: Nevada Revised Statutes Unlicensed Assistive Personnel: A CCSD employee who is not licensed by the Board of Nursing but who, in accordance with the provisions of the Nevada Nurse Practice Act, NRS and NAC 632, is trained and delegated by the school nurse to perform a specific Board-regulated nursing service(s). Undesignated Auto-injectable Epinephrine: A pre-measured dose of epinephrine prescribed by a physician or osteopathic physician to the Churchill County School District (CCSD), for administration during regular school hours to any CCSD student who is reasonably believed to be experiencing symptoms of anaphylaxis while on a CCSD campus. CCSD School Campuses: All non-residential, CCSD-operated public school sites serving students from Pre-K through grade 12.

2 Page 2 of 15 Procedure 1. The Chief School Nurse will ensure a current physician s or osteopathic physician s prescription is on file with the Student Health Services, authorizing the CCSD to obtain AIE s for each CCSD school campus. a. The physician s or osteopathic physician s written prescription for undesignated AIE must be noted on the CCSD Standing Medical Order For Administration of Undesignated Auto--injectable Epinephrine (Form-A). 2. Each CCSD school campus will stock two 0.15mg. and two-0.30 mg. doses of undesignated AIE. 3. Upon delivery of undesignated AIE to a school site, the staff nurse will complete an Epinephrine Auto-Injector Evidence of Delivery (Form 5151-B), signed by the school nurse and staff nurse or school administrator, and forward the completed form to the Chief School Nurse and District Office within two school days. 4. Undesignated AIE may be administered to a student with a known history of anaphylaxis who does not have an individually-prescribed AIE available or to a student with an unknown allergy who is believed to be experiencing symptoms of anaphylaxis. 5. Undesignated AIE may be administered by the staff nurse or trained CCSD employee, to any CCSD student whom the staff nurse or other trained CCSD employee reasonably believes is experiencing anaphylaxis on campus during the regular curricular day. a. As stated in Procedures for the Administration and Recording of Medication (R5150), school employees and other Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP s), including health aides, may not administer any medication, including AIE, to any student without training and delegation by the school nurse. b. The school nurse will train and delegate the administration of undesignated and individually-prescribed AIE to the school s staff nurse, and at least 4 members of the school s Medical Emergency Response Team, in accordance with the provisions of the Nevada Nurse Practice Act, NRS & NAC 632, Procedures for the Administration and Recording of Medication (R5150 and R5150 (a)), and with all CCSD policies and procedures. c. At the discretion of the school nurse, other willing school employees may be trained and delegated to administer AIE at each school site. d. The staff nurse may also opt to inform and educate staff outside of the delegation process in order to educate and enhance their awareness regarding anaphylaxis, EpiPens, and appropriate emergency response. e. The school nurse will conduct training (to include visual aids) and delegation of willing, designated UAP s a minimum of two times each school year, once within the first 4 weeks of the school year and again within the first 4 weeks after winter break. f. The school administrator will assist the school nurse to ensure all designated UAP s attend each of the required trainings.
3 Page 3 of 15 g. Prior to delegating the administration of AIE, the school nurse will verify and document each employee s competency in all required skills, using the School Nurse Epinephrine Auto-injector Training/Delegation Checklist (Form 5151-C); a hard copy of the Checklist will be kept in the health office medication binder for the duration of the school year and forwarded to Student Health Services at the end of the school year. h. All employees who receive training and are delegated by the school nurse to administer undesignated AIE will receive a copy of the School Emergency Action Plan for Treatment of Anaphylaxis, (Form 5151-D) a color copy of the plan will also be posted in the school health office on the outside of the cabinet or near the location where AIE is stored. i. School nurse training and delegation to UAP s in administration of AIE will include a specific directive that 911 must be called immediately anytime an AIE is administered even if the student appears to fully recover. j. The school nurse may opt to administer the Test Your Knowledge about Anaphylaxis Pre/Post-Test (Form 5151-E) as a tool for verifying an acceptable level of UAP competence and knowledge prior to delegation. 6. With the exception of epinephrine medication carried by students for self-administration, all doses of AIE, whether provided by the parent/guardian or supplied by the CCSD, will be stored at room temperature in a supervised, secure, unlocked location, within the school health office. a. Undesignated AIEs will be stored in the Emergency Medication container, clearly labeled with red Undesignated Epinephrine labels (Form 5151-H) within the unlocked cabinet or location where student-prescribed AIE s are stored. b. The staff nurse will ensure that EpiPen Instructions (Form 5151-F) is posted on the outside of the cabinet or near the location where undesignated AIE is stored. 7. Student Health Services staff will track the undesignated AIE expiration dates, reorder AIE for each school prior to the expiration date, and ensure replacement of any doses administered or expired. a. Expired AIE doses will be discarded at the school site in the Sharps Container in the Health Office. b. In order to ensure prompt replacement of undesignated doses of AIE, the staff nurse will immediately contact the Chief School Nurse and complete Undesignated EpiPen Tracking Record (Form 5151-G), whenever a dose(s) of undesignated AIE is administered. c. The completed Undesignated EpiPen Tracking Record must be mailed to the Chief School Nurse by the day following administration or disposal of AIE. d. In addition, the staff nurse will ensure that a Medication Log (R5150.2) is documented for the student receiving the undesignated AIE and that the Medication Log is filed in the student s individual health record.
