Naloxone Emergency Response Procedure
This template is an example that schools can use to help develop a procedure specific to their situation.
Naloxone Condition Specific Protocol for a School Setting
This guidance further explains the nursing practice rationale behind the need for a condition specific protocol.
Schools may use this template to work with a healthcare provider in developing a naloxone condition specific protocol for their district/school.
Districts/schools may utilize the statewide standing order for distribution and condition specific protocol in order to implement a naloxone protocol within their setting.
Naloxone Training Competency
Schools may find it beneficial to have staff engage in self-assessment of knowledge and skills to build confidence and competency to ensure trained staff members feel prepared to administer naloxone if an opioid incident occurs. These tools could be used and will need to be modified to fit a schools’ policy and procedure.
