This article presents previously unpublished results from a national survey on the emergency use and management of medications in schools. Findings highlight the need for further policy development and emphasize the important role of school nurses in ensuring student safety.
Access to emergency medications is a growing concern, particularly regarding the availability, safety, and use of these medications in schools. The purpose of this article is to report results not previously published from a national survey, specifically regarding the emergency use of epinephrine, albuterol inhalers, and glucagon. A nonexperimental, cross-sectional design was utilized for this descriptive study. An online survey was distributed to school nurses in 2015, and data from 6,298 school nurse respondents are presented in the analysis. Findings related to stock and student-specific emergency medication use and storage, epinephrine usage data, and delegation of emergency medication administration to unlicensed assistive personnel are presented in this article. Further development of policies and procedures regarding emergency medication administration in schools is needed. School nurses are a valuable resource for obtaining knowledge in this area and keeping students safe at school.
